It’s nice to start traditions. Making a meal for Mom on Mother’s Day can be a fun tradition. It can also help children begin to try new foods because helping with the food preparation usually peaks their interest to try what they have prepared.

The smoothie looks very good. The only thing I would add is a handful of fresh spinash to boost up the nutritional value. Thanks for sharing.

this sounds very tasty, esp now that peaches are in season. I've really gotten into green smoothies lately, too. I use lots of spinach, celery, cucumber, lettuce, etc., toss a bit of fruit in, and you can't even taste the veggies!
