I'm the proud mother of a fussy eater. My youngest, Asher, will not let fruit or vegetables pass his lips. We have tried and tried but boy oh boy he is stubborn.
Discovering that we could sneak in fruits and veggies into tasty smoothies and he wouldn't be the wiser was a game-changer for me and my husband.
We up our game by adding MegaFood Kids booster powders. Since Asher is such a fussy eater, I add the Multi booster to his smoothies for extra nutrients! It's as easy as adding a scoop when I'm mixing the smoothies every morning.
As a bonus all of these smoothie recipes work really well as homemade popsicles. Here are my go-to recipes if you have a fussy eater like I do!
