The " I Hate Vegetables" Green Smoothie Recipe

Do you have a child or grandchild that hates vegetables? Maybe you or your spouse can't stand them. You know that vegetables, especially leafy dark green kind that kids hate most, are necessary for good health. But trying to get kids to eat their vegetables is usually more difficult than trying to nail jello to a tree.

Rather than turning the dinner table into a battlefield, why not get creative with your veggies? Here's a great way to get lots of nutrition hidden in something most everyone loves...CHOCOLATE!

Green smoothies are a great way to get your kids to eat their greens. Sweet fruit disguises the taste of the greens and most kids think getting to drink something that is green is really fun.

For those children who won't even try a green smoothie because it is green, try putting the smoothie in a cup you can't see through with a lid that is also opaque. This way they can't see what they're drinking. They'll just know that the "chocolate shake" you made for them tastes great!
