359 to 40: After-school Snack

Snack

"Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap."

~ Robert Fulghum

I love the idea of milk and cookies after school, but the last thing fruit/veggie-phobic Esmé needs is more cookies.

So we’ve compromised with the after-school smoothie.  It’s the only way we get the bananas and berries and cherries into her.  And I get my nurturing-mamma-image fix.

Don’t let her late-afternoon glare fool you.  She consistently asks for seconds.

And a VitaMix is on my wishlist… :)
