Leafy greens are one of the most difficult foods to convince kids to eat. Can you really blame them, though? After all, you’ve passed on the spinach salad and opted for something less nutritious more than once. Whether you’re trying to sneak greens into your kids’ diets or your own, try this delicious Banana-Manna Cacao Smoothie. Just like a spoon full of sugar, sweet ingredients – like banana, peanut butter and Nutiva Coconut Manna coconut butter – help the greens go down in a healthy, mom- and kid-approved way.
