My son's solution to a non-greens-loving son: make a "milkshake" with (wait for it) spinach, banana and strawberries. His children loved it. It looks a bit like very dirty pond water, thickened with macerated pondweed and tadpoles.
If you'd like the recipe, I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige.As for me, I think I'll give it a miss.
Me too.
ReplyDeleteSensible man.
DeleteI bet it tastes lovely xx
ReplyDeleteAre you sure about that, Teresa??
DeleteI think I prefer the ingredients separate... but if the children like it, why not ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy not indeed!
DeleteSpinach is one of my favourite foods, and I like all fruit (although I am not too keen on pineapple and lychee). But, like Monica, I prefer them on their own :-)
ReplyDeletePerhaps that's becasuse we're used to them separately, Meike?
DeleteI think that the texture alone would put me right off!
ReplyDeleteYes. I haven't actually seen it, but I agree. It certainly coats the face nicely.
DeleteIt seems an unlikely combination, but if it works you can't knock it. Your son sounds like a very responsible parent. I don't think I could have persuaded my kids to drink green gunge.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't either, Maggie.
DeleteIt looks and sounds like Spirulina (a New Zealand drink) but as it's not red and in a 750cl bottle (and it's evening as I post this comment) I think I, too, will give it a miss.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd go with you, and have the red bottled variety, Graham.
DeleteDoes it really do them any harm if they are a little slow in coming round to greens? I cook fairly regularly for my grandchildren and confess that I don't make a thing about it.
ReplyDeleteI was lazy with mine, and one ate only sausages for a year.
