Toddler Eats is a fun little series where I dive head first into the facts, figures, and tricks of feeding a toddler. I’ll also be including quite a few recipe ideas specifically for our little sweethearts – ranging from the baby-led weaning stage through preschool. If you have a recipe (with photos) you’d like to share I’d love to feature you in one of the installments of Toddler Eats – just send me an email with your idea!

After checking this month’s sponsor, GreenPaxx, I bet you’re wondering what healthy foods you can get your little ones to slurp? In our house, smoothies are the answer!
Awhile back I debuted Jemma’s most favorite smoothie of all – GREEN GOODNESS! It has continued to be a favorite and I’m excited to begin incorporating more smoothie concoctions. For Toddler Eats this week I’ve compiled a list of smoothie recipes from some smoothie expert mamas …
- Julia from A Little Bit of All of It shares the details of her first green smoothie – think almond milk, kale, blueberries and more
- Ashley from Ashley’s Green Life is chock full of amazing vegan recipes including this chocolate ice cream smoothie and this watermelon smoothie
- Kristen from Rage Against the Minivan is a smoothie queen with these three smoothies (tropical green machine, berry blast with spinach, and orange dream) and her banana almond oatmeal milkshake
- Kristy from Mommy Hates Cooking has whipped up a yummy dairy-free strawberry banana smoothie
- Ladan from Baby Gizmo collected a bunch of nutrient rich smoothies for kids
- Rachel from Keeper of the Home whipped up an applecado smoothie starring none other than delicious apples and avocados
- Katie from This Chick Cooks showcases a yummy protein option with her peanut butter banana smoothie
Before you all chime in on your favorite smoothies, I have two more to share! GreenPaxx passed on their Green Girlfriend smoothie saying it’s “the smoothie that’s there for you no matter what”, and since Fall is upon us, I couldn’t help but share our new favorite pumpkin smoothie! Blend these up and you’re sure to have an upbeat day!

um, pumpkin smoothies? yes please! a tip – buy/make some carrot juice and freeze in ice cube trays. pop two or three cubes in your smoothie (or use them in place of the ice!) and you have a great way to add even more vitamins to the drink.

Sorry to say, there are tons with predators on the web. Sperm types and also personal types. Keep in mind with con artists and also fraudsters. There are actually individuals on the web whom earn a living out of conning individuals by means of pretending [url =http://beautifulcoachbackpacks2t.webs.com/]coach backpacks online[/url] to be desperate for money and asking for help or wanting to meet up to get a visa or passport.Long distance relationships can seem very romantic. Think carefully about meeting anyone who lives a long way away. It may look very romantic and exciting now but will it still seem like that when the date is over and they are hundreds of miles away? Under no circumstances meet a much different person from a silent unpoopulated area. Usually meet from a open put. Convey to somebody you possibly can faith and also depend on in which you are going and also make sure you possess your current mobile or portable [url =http://coachfactoryhandbag3e.webs.com/]coach factory handbag outlet[/url] phone on you. Tell them you will let them know when you return home. You may well think it is a good idea to meet for a drink the first time so that you do not lose a whole evening to what might be a wasted and pointless meet. Think outside the box. People now meet up for a drink during their lunch hour when it is a first meet and then perhaps arrange a much longer meet when they are more sure of the person. Others meet for a drink after work and then go on to a whole evening with a [url =http://ccoachonlineoutlet.com/]Coach Factory Online[/url] trusted friend after. Serial daters can fit in dozens of first meets in a week! I find out a lot more about them BEFORE meeting and only meet a few that I know I will not regret meeting. This is how to meet a date online.

In the event that it is crucial for you that the next time can be a human being that's blonde together with glowing blue sight and then never have diverted to help any person that's not really. You will find many of us to choose from. Nevertheless remember to [url =http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/]coach factory backpacks outlet [/url] be realistic. If you are fat, bald, ugly and 75 years of age do not insist the next date is far better looking than you and half your age, or you may well be looking and looking and never ever finding.Think of the things that really matter to you. Perhaps you are very keen on having children, love animals and are a homebody. Then it would be pointless [url =http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/]http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/[/url] to date someone who hates animals and works in a meat factory and loves to go out all of the time.Men should beware of women who are looking for a meal ticket and while it happens less often it does happen the other way around where successful [url =http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/]coach factory backpacks outlet[/url] hard working women may get loafers or spongers wanting to meet them. Beware of the woman who wants you to go shopping with her and expects you to let her use your credit card. Often insist at knowing all you sense you should recognize just before specialist achieving. Be careful of any person that's inside a huge hurry in order to meet following a quick conversation. Some people often have [url =http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/]http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/[/url] something to hide or they do not think things through. I would suggest that you chat to them online and when you feel safe with them move on to emails, then phone calls and then a meet. If your gut instinct tells you that the person is fishy, boring or not interesting enough then end it and move on to someone else. Whenever I talk to my clients about the dates they have met off line and the ones they have met say ten times and then stopped meeting they always stopped because eventually after ten meets they found out something they needed to know, such as that the other person has been in [url =http://www.ccoachfactoryoutlets.com/]Coach Factory Outlet[/url] prison or hates children. It is sensible to make sure about such important things before meeting rather than meeting the person ten times and then eventually finding out. Why waste such a lot of precious time on meeting someone who is unsuitable? Make a list of questions to ask the person before you meet and only meet them if you like the answers.
