Healthy Kid Approved Smoothies

Often parents are concerned about how much nutrition their children are getting and are looking for ways to keep their kids healthy. Kids tastes can change daily and if you're anything like my kids, it's a struggle to get them to eat their fruits and veggies. Greens like spinach, kale, collard greens and swiss chard are chock full of essential vitamins and nutrients like Vitamins A, C, iron and protien that growing bodies need. If you can get your kids to get past the green color, they'll probably be really surprised that they can't even taste the veggies and green smoothies taste just like other pretty pastel all fruit smoothies.

Here's a great green smoothie recipe sure to be a hit with your kids!

Try to purchase organic produce when you can.
•    2 handfuls of spinach leaves
•    1 C. Organic Greek Yogurt
•    1 banana (I use old ripe bananas I've peeled and saved in the freezer)
•    1 apple (cored)
•    5 strawberries (again, I use old strawberries that were on the verge of being too ripe, cut off the tops and froze)
•    1/2 orange

Place all items in blender and blend until the consistency you desire. You may need to add a bit of water to get the blender to start mixing.

Garnish with a fun colorful straw and some fresh fruit and watch it disappear!

Almost all prescription and over-the-counter medications sold today for treating head lice contain pesticides or other chemicals, many of which have the potential to cause irritating skin reactions or other harmful side effects. For anyone looking to treat head lice the safe way, the LouseBuster™ device uses only controlled, heated air, so it is very safe – even when used to treat people with asthma and those who have previously experienced side effects from other products.
