My daughter ate dandelion greens today. Yes, that's correct, dandelion greens. Those things that are so bitter and strong tasting but are so high in calcium, potassium, etc.!

No, she didn't pick them up and put them in her mouth. I made a blended smoothie with Very Vanilla soymilk, plain soy yogurt, blueberries, and apple juice concentrate. Couldn't hardly taste the greens at all! She sucked down some of it! Woohoo! So far I've also fed her kale and spinach that way, too. I love adding greens to my smoothies! We hardly ever have smoothies without greens anymore, because I figure if we can't see them or taste them anyway, we might as well get the extra nutrition from them, lol.

You have dandelions already? Geez, we're waiting on the ice to still melt! lol! I tell ya, I'm lazy. I've never made my kids a smoothie. I wouldn't even know how to go about it! Do you add ice in there too?

LOL! I bought dandelion greens from the grocery store. They're $1.49 per bunch at Meijer's. We're still waiting for snow and ice to melt too!

No, I don't normally add ice to it.

My mom, who is korean, eats those! She picks them out of our backyard in Wa. I thought always thought she was weird for eating them, I never would have thought normal people would eat them, let alone sell them in the grocery store?! Huh, I would have never known!

It's amazing what is sold in the grocery store, isn't it?

That is great! I try to hide veggies in everything so my son will eat them.
