Mango-Papaya-Spinach Green Smoothie

If you have picky kids and would like to give them spinach like I do… sneaking those baby spinach to this smoothie was one idea I will definitely keep. The sweet yet tangy combination of mango, papaya and mandarin orange and their bright color definitely masked the spinach very well. My kids drank their glass of smoothie without asking me what’s in there. The only thing they said was “Delicious!”

SBO Smoothie {Recipe}

If you have kids, like I do, you know it can sometimes be difficult to introduce new things to their diet. Do you have picky kids? Serving smoothies as dessert or snack is a great way to give them fruits they normally wouldn’t eat by itself. We call this the SBO smoothie because the main ingredients are Strawberries, Bananas and Orange (which I normally freeze in smoothie packs) and I just add other ingredients depending on whatever is on hand.

Homemade {Microwave} Cinnamon Applesauce Parfait

Ahhh… apples! They are great eaten alone, baked, added to your cake batter…. and of course, my ultimate favorite: applesauce! There’s just something about homemade applesauce that makes me think of comfort food. This applesauce recipe is good for two people using one large apple. You can use any variety you have on hand.
