Guest guest Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Isn't that just the BEST?! My daughter used to take great pride in telling her teachers that she ate ice cream for breakfast. Who knows what the teachers thought of me, but I KNEW she had a healthy, nutrient based start to her day that she WANTED to eat! Most of our ice creams are pumpkin based, and super nutritious.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi there! Can u please share some of your pumpkin or really any of your ice cream recipes? I am very new to my vitamix & the combinations I try without a recipe are not ones my children will eat. They r losing patience! :-) Thank you!

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 My recipes are in the files section here in the group-super easy! How old are your children? Getting them INVOLVED in the process of making things is a great way to get kids to eat things they wouldn't normally eat, and getting them to eat ice cream or popsicles made from just about anything works a charm, lol! > > > > > > LOL... > > > I had a little 5 yr old visitor.. who after her Mom and I were prepping > > lunch decided I AM NOT HUNGRY.. > > > > > > so told her I bet I could get her something she would love.. so I didn't > > let her see but mixed up a green mix w frozen broccoli, carrots, frozen > > strawberries, fat free Greek yogurt and 1/2 banana.. added some water then > > extra ICE.. zipped it up in the Vitamix.. > > > .Strawberry Banana ICE CREAM.... > > > I put it in a parfait glass with a whole strawberry and a few > > blueberries on top and gave it too her pronouncing loudly ICE CREAM FOR > > LUNCH...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I think , you and your daughter ought to write a book on nutrition from both points of view with recipes such as your pumpkin ice cream for breakfast. I am quite sure it would sell well to Mom's everywhere who are struggling to get good nutrition into a generation of children who are hit from practically birth on by advertising from fast food stores of all sorts.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks, Velda. We have actually thought about it, but now that my daughter just got her driver license, all I see of her is her taillights, lol. Not sure I can pin her down long enough! WOW, all I did was blink and my little girl grew up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks for posting this! I will be whirling this one up this weekend. I am always looking for ways to get more broccoli in my diet and that of my husband's. Ice cream for lunch -- great for kids and adults! > > LOL... > I had a little 5 yr old visitor.. who after her Mom and I were prepping lunch decided I AM NOT HUNGRY.. > > so told her I bet I could get her something she would love.. so I didn't let her see but mixed up a green mix w frozen broccoli, carrots, frozen strawberries, fat free Greek yogurt and 1/2 banana.. added some water then extra ICE.. zipped it up in the Vitamix.. > .Strawberry Banana ICE CREAM.... > I put it in a parfait glass with a whole strawberry and a few blueberries on top and gave it too her pronouncing loudly ICE CREAM FOR LUNCH...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Do you VM the spinach with liquid ingredients before adding frozen, or does it get chopped smooth enough not to be noticeable in the normal processing of the frozen? e Velda On 5/3/2012 8:31 AM, crenita2 wrote: > I LOVE to put spinach in my chocolate ice cream... anyway to get those greens in is a a good one for me.. > > >>> LOL... >>> I had a little 5 yr old visitor.. who after her Mom and I were prepping lunch decided I AM NOT HUNGRY.. >>> >>> so told her I bet I could get her something she would love.. so I didn't let her see but mixed up a green mix w frozen broccoli, carrots, frozen strawberries, fat free Greek yogurt and 1/2 banana.. added some water then extra ICE.. zipped it up in the Vitamix.. >>> .Strawberry Banana ICE CREAM.... >>> I put it in a parfait glass with a whole strawberry and a few blueberries on top and gave it too her pronouncing loudly ICE CREAM FOR LUNCH...
