Kids Lunch

Here is my kids lunch for today. Please excuse the artwork on the picnic table. :) The sandwiches are organic whole wheat bread, with organic low sugar strawberry jam, all natural organic peanut butter. The apples are organic, the chips are organic blue corn chips. The drinks I made in the blender using the rest of the cut strawberries, blueberries, and spinach with a cup of ice and 100 percent grapefruit juice. My son  is a picky eater, not with taste, but with texture. He will eat fruit if it is blended, mashed, dried, or juiced, but he will not eat it in it's whole form. So this is how he gets his fruit and veggies. In juice or smoothie form. At this point, whatever gets the food in him works for me. They LOVE Naked juices, so these homemade versions work great. If we are out and I'm not around the blender, we pick up any flavor of Naked juice. So, to sum it up, in this lunch they got : a serving of whole grain (bread) and blue corn chips, many servings of fruit: apples, strawberries, blueberries, grapefruit juice, a protein: peanut butter, a serving of veggies: (a small serving, but I did get some in) spinach and blue corn chips. The best part, they love it!
