💚Picky eaters will have fun trying greens if they get to add my secret ingredient to Dr. Yum’s Green Dragon Smoothie!

💚Make this with your kids, and let them add a small handful of chocolate chips at the very end of blending. They are surprisingly low in sugar, and chop up in seconds to become POLKA-DOTS making this green dragon the cutest and friendliest in town! (and so yummy!)

👉🏼Here’s the recipe from my book, Adventures in Veggieland: Help Your Child Learn to Love Vegetables with 100 Easy Activities and Recipes. 🗣️Comment VEGGIES for the link to look inside the book sent directly to your inbox!

✨1 cup fresh baby spinach, packed
✨¾ cup fresh or frozen pineapple
✨½ cup fresh or frozen green grapes
✨Small chunk frozen or fresh banana
✨½ peeled orange (I like to freeze peeled oranges too!)
✨Small wedge of lime, with rind, seeds removed
✨Tiny (pea sized) piece of ginger or a pinch of powdered ginger
(More ice if you’d like it extra cold and slushy!)
✨1/8 of a cup chocolate chips
✨👉🏼✨Blend everything except the chips in the blender until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed for smoother consistency.

🪄Here’s the MAGIC: Kids add chocolate chips and blend for just a few seconds, creating polka dots throughout!

Serves 2. NOTE: Omit chocolate chips for kids under age two.

🥰Your kids can: Peel the orange & banana! Add ingredients to blender with adult’s help. Toss in those magical chocolate chips!

😳It’s dangerous to have stuffed animals of any size in baby’s sleep space, especially near their nose and mouth. PLUS, ideally we want to wean baby from the pacifier during the daytime at age 6 months. So, the animal pacifier makes no sense from a practical standpoint. BUT…here’s another point.

🐿️🦊🐻If your child is older and has not weaned from the pacifier, cut off the animal. The added weight hanging from their mouth may contribute to the intensity & duration of the sucking, which we know influences dental, facial & palate formation in conjunction with the frequency of sucking. They can still have the cute animal, just not hanging from the pacifier. Also, it’s time to wean anyway, so let go of the pacifier and hang on to the cute animal for comfort.

🤔Wondering how to wean a baby, toddler or older kiddo from the pacifier?

💕You can do it… It just takes the right guidance to wean and I’m here to help!

But wait, there`s more! 🔥Recently, a pilot study concluded that “When toy plush animals are attached to a pacifier, the forces transmitted to the nipple of the pacifier can exceed the 0.4 N minimum force (100 g equals 0.98 N) required to cause orthodontic tooth movement.” Tesini DA et al., Forces Generated During Plush Animal Pacifier Use: A Pilot Study. Pediatr Dent. 2023 May 15;45(3):177-180. PMID: 37381124. Thanks to @functionfocusacadamy for sharing & @oral_motor_institute for sharing that study.

🍓Kids love fruit, and it’s a common concern for parents that it’s all they will eat if they serve it with the meal. BUT, let’s take dessert (and fruit) off it’s pedestal and remember 3 rules on parenting mindfully at mealtimes:

1.✨You decide how much is available, and when. So, if you’d like to save fruit for snack time paired with a little fat or protein, that’s one option.

2.✨Your job is to offer a variety of food, but you can also say “That’s not on the menu today” or “Blueberries aren’t available right now – but we will have some for breakfast.”

3.✨Personally, I like fruit to served with the rest of the meal, and I feel that way most of the time about dessert too. But the portion is small. And I rarely provide “seconds”. I’m more likely to provide a bigger portion of fruit if I suspect they will enjoy it AND they need it for a nutritional reason – like a little extra fiber or Vitamin C.

🤦🏼‍♀️Also – anybody else feel like the entire grocery budget goes to BERRIES? LOL!
