Although I see great value in reaching out to the adults out there, I feel that it is sooooooo paramount to introduce and educate children about the great goodness of green smoothies in their diets. They offer unparalleled immune system strength and nutritious benefits to a child's growing body. Not only are green smoothies highly refreshing and filling, they literally infuse their bodies with much needed enzymes, phyto-nutrients and amino acids. If I feel as youthful, vibrant and healthy as I do now, I can only imagine how I would feel if I started consuming green smoothies in my childhood!
So, in celebration of the green smoothie challenge I participated in, I thought it would be a fabulous idea to invite some neighbourhood kids and their parents over to my house and make green smoothies for them. I know that several of these kids live on pop, chips and candy and I was so excited to share with them and their parents these super yummy, packed full of greatness, green concoctions.......
The event exceded my expectations. Comments such as, "Mmmmmm, super yummy!", "Can I have more?", "Yummers"! and "I can't wait to tell my Mom about this!" were music to my ears and made my heart smile. In fact, it is still smiling! The first batch I made was such a huge hit that I had to make a second batch. Soooooo exciting!
