Last week at work we taught a nutrition class at a kids day camp.. 250 kids, ages 6-13. Something interactive and fun needed to go down to keep their attention!
So we played with food. The kids were blindfolded and then challenged with a food.
Kale.
They tasted it and made yucky faces; then had to judge the food to get points for their team.
It was a blast, but the best part?
Smiles and giggles when they drank the Green Monster Juice! One little boy said he loved it so much he was going to ask his mom to make it for dinner.
Recipe tested and kid approved. Serve it up for your little (or big) kids.

I love kale with anything, this seems like a perfect summer drink, I might at a little serrano pepper to put it over the edge
I love your blog and I love the smoothie, I have actually made this at home many times, only I am missing the pineapple..Good touch, I will do that next time 🙂 Beautiful pictures and great site
Pineapple adds yummy sweetness! Thank you for the blog love!
This sounds great! I may even be able to get my husband to drink this!
Yes! I'm working on my hubs.. he took 3 sips this morning. Adults can be pickier than kids!
