Dear Baby

Drink your broccoli, honey!

Several of you wrote inquiring about the “green juice” that I mentioned we are giving Everly these days, so I thought I’d share this discovery.

She has recently decided that peas (and sometimes corn or carrots if she’s feeling really adventurous) are the only veggies she is interested in consuming unless I do some serious disguising. The we discovered the Very Green Juice Blend from Trader Joe’s. It is available in the refrigerated juice section and while it is rather unappealing in color, it tastes delicious! Along with mango, banana, and kiwi juices it has broccoli, spinach, parsley, blue/green algae, wheat grass and barley grass - but you’d never know it!

Everly gets a cup of juice every morning with her breakfast and it’s nice to know that she is getting some extra minerals and vitamins from the veggies in this blend. It makes me feel a little better when she picks around all of the broccoli and asparagus in her dinner!

I know there are lots of folks who are big fans of juicing at home and making their own veggie/fruit juices, but for folks like us that don’t own a juicer, this is a nice alternative!

Love,

M
