How I Got The Roc to Eat His Spinach

Although The Roc is a pretty adventurous eater (lobster, curry, haggis) he has an instinctive aversion to green vegetables, to the point that he will pick tiny pieces of cilantro out of his pico de gallo. But I've found a sneaky--and delicious--way to get him to eat his greens. It's a smoothie made from one banana, a cup of Trader Joe's frozen mango, a splash of milk, and a big ol' handful of fresh spinach leaves. It is not just good-for-being-full-of-spinach, it is flat-out yummy, with a minty green tint and a flavor slightly reminiscent of green tea ice cream. Trust me, you need to try this at home, whether you have kids or not.
