Do kids need special smoothie recipes? Not necessarily; but if you make them fun and colorful, they are more likely to drink them :)! Yesterday Sprout was running a fever, so she refused any solids (including smoothies) and would only nurse. Today she was feeling much better, but still only wanted Mommy's milk... until I whipped up this amazing fruit smoothie, and then her … [Read more...]

Sprout Loves Sweet Potatoes and Smoothies | Delicious Healthy Sugar Free Recipes for Your Child

Today was Sprout's first Farmers Market visit. I wish I could tell you that it was exciting for her, but, alas, at 93 F outside she was knocked out the whole time in the shade of her stroller. I, on the other hand, was excited to be out. Although pickings were a bit slim (I miss Washington State farmers markets and our organic farmer), I was able to score a few good thing: … [Read more...]
