| The EZ Green - Ugly in Color, pretty in taste. |
"Drink what mom?" "I am not drinking anything green."
If you have never heard the above stated at your home, you have never tried to get your children to drink their breakfast, which by the way is loaded with spinach! Or perhaps you raised your children right from the beginning and they beg for liquid greens upon waking. That is of course after making their beds, cleaning the bathroom, feeding the dog, and milking the cow (without you even asking). For the rest of us whose family sometimes refuse eat their veggies, don’t get mean, go green! One sip and it won’t be difficult to charm them with this deceptively delicious green smoothie. I have seen it time and time again.
