My kiddo is pretty picky, but actually does like spinach, so there is a chance he would actually like this recipe! I just might have to give it a try!
My kids love green smoothies! And this one is good because of the apple, it gives it that sweetness that kids like.
This looks like my kind of smoothie. I’m betting my toddler will love it too. I need to make a grocery run now. I’m out of spinach!
