To Smoothie or Not To Smoothie?
Whenever I discuss Leo's diet with virtually anyone, their responses are nearly the same: "Does he drink smoothies?"
I have to admit, it's frustrating at times when I tell people all he eats are the items listed on the Introduction Video, and their response is almost always a question as to whether or not he'll eat or drink something else. I know they mean well, and maybe I am not being clear that I am not leaving anything out, or these things are really the only things he eats.
So the smoothie idea, although highly recommended by doctors, friends and even our Homeopath, was always pushed to the side because, quite seriously, I really don't think he'd drink it.
However, I didn't think it would be possible to get veggie juice into him, and yet, we are succeeding at it. So as we evolve into this new way of shopping, preparing and offering new food & drink, I believe it's time to try the all popular "Smoothie"
Today, just 10 days after beginning the homeopathic remedies, I made Leo's 1st smoothie. Using one banana and a cup of coconut milk, I blended it up, added a hint of his veggie juice and added 1 packet of Stevia.
One drink, and he handed it back. So I poured out about an ounce and let him watch me add a little Pediasure.
One drink, he looked at it, licked his lips and set it down.
Research time. I am going to look up different smoothie recipes that will appeal to his taste buds but also nourish his body! Of course with any and all new developments, I will be adding them here!
