If you can get your kid to eat spinach and spring mix, let me know how you accomplish that! Our son does a really great job eating what we provide for him, but leafy greens isn't one of those things. What 16 month old does though? Leafy greens are one of those foods that younger kids just can't understand how to chew:)
In order to make sure he gets the leafy greens, I made him a "not so green" healthy sorbet for his snack today, and it was a huge hit! If it melts enough it will be a "not so green" smoothie!
Not So Green Sorbet!
1/3 cup frozen blueberries
5-6 frozen strawberries
1 large handful of mixed greens or spinach (kale would also be a good leafy green option)
1/3 cup frozen broccoli
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup almond milk (can add extra if too thick)
1/2 tbs agave nectar or to taste
Make sure to use frozen broccoli and not cooked so it retains all of it's healthy benefits. If you prefer a smoothie over sorbet, you don't need to use all frozen ingredients.
