Even if your kids don't normally want to eat or drink green foods, this holiday is a great way to trick, er, encourage them to try something new!

Yummy! This sounds absolutely delicious. I've been on a smoothie kick lately, so I can't wait to try it. I created a green smoothie using Organic Matcha Green Tea powder. It was delicious and instantly made me think of St. Patrick's day. I love adding a healthy twist!
