Five Smoothie Recipes to “Sneak In The Green” On St. Patty’s Day
by Modern Day Moms
Do you still struggle to get your kids to eat enough veggies? Do they do so kicking and screaming?
Kids are normally opposed to all things veggies, and it can be tough to get them to even go near a green smoothie.
The good news is once your kids try green smoothies most kids love them and ask for more.
But if you still haven’t converted your kids to green smoothies, what better day to do so than on St. Patrick’s Day? The only day of the year where it’s “normal” to eat everything green.
Tell your kids it’s a sweet treat, sneak in the greens, and they won’t know the difference.
Oh, and then you can serve them this special “green treat” again and again and they’ll feel like every day is a holiday!

Plus, adding cacao nibs on top adds a really yummy touch!

Which Shamrock Shake Was Your Favorite?
I hoped you liked this collection of green smoothies inspired by St. Patrick’s Day.
Did you make any of these? If so let us know in the comments which one you made and how it turned out!
The most important thing is to use St. Patrick’s Day as an excuse to get more green in your diet.
The best kind of green of course is the leafy greens (spinach, kale, etc.).
But if you’re not at the stage where you’re ready to add greens to your smoothie that’s OK.
Even adding kiwi and/or mint for a sweet, tasty treat is better than running to the local fast food joint for a highly processed milkshake treat.
So whichever one you make, celebrate the fact that you are cooking at home and adding more good foods to your diet!
