10 Fresh Juice and Smoothie Recipes Kids Will Love
It’s the time of year when health is on everyone’s minds. And if you are anything like me, you’ve resolved to work on your healthy eating habits in 2013. One of the things I’ve recently fallen in love with in our home to help us stay healthy is juicing! It’s so easy to get so many fruits and veggies into a delicious juice. Smoothies are another great way and I find myself eating so much more produce when I make a point to use our juicer and blender. Even our 1 year old son LOVES fresh juice, even when I hide veggies in it. Click through for 10 recipes that are great for the whole family! (Our favorite is the very first one!)
