[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you put in the smoothies for those of you whose kids have smoothies? My DS has to be out the door by 6:25. What time are you waking up to do this or do your kids make their own breakfast/lunch?[/quote]

I'm the PP with the child who needs to gain weight and has chewing issues. Preparing his smoothie takes me 10 minutes. A Vitamix blender is in our future, but for right now, I buy the (expensive!) sachets of smoothie powder at Whole Foods. Bought a whole variety so that he could try them all, tell me which one he likes best, and perhaps I will buy a bulk jar of that. They contain complete protein (either vegan or milk-based), minerals and vitamins. I mix them by hand with a half-banana, spoonful of soynut butter (he's allergic to peanuts and treenuts), 200 calories of heavy whipping cream, and top it off with whole milk. He drinks it down in 10 minutes (because he can't drink it in one minute like you and I) and is ready to go. When I get a blender, I will be able to blend raw veggies and fruit, as well as tofu, and won't have to buy the powders.[/quote]
