Make Ahead Breakfast Smoothies
One morning before work I started to prep myself a spinach and banana smoothie for my breakfast. Once I turned on the blender and poured the contents into a glass, she noticed she did not have what mom was about to have and started throwing a fit. I then poured some into a cup for her and I was shocked she was about to take a sip for the damn thing was very green and loaded with spinach. I just assumed as soon as she noticed it and took a sip she would make that cute little scrunched-up face and not want any more. But something happened that almost knocked me off my chair, she loved it and was drinking every last sip. After she finished all of hers I just ended up giving all the rest to her, while I didn’t get any. That’s just the story of my life, but I was just thrilled and amazed that my daughter was eating a leafy green for once! ✋👍👏🤭So I’m sure you're now aware that smoothies have become a staple in our home for its one of the very few ways that I can get my kid her vegetable intake. It's safe to say that I celebrate by shaking my ass and dancing around the room like an idiot after she finishes up the smoothies I have made her. I get extremely enthusiastic about my triumph of deceiving my daughter into eating something she thought she despised, haha!
