I have learned about green smoothies from Victoria’s books and learned how to prepare really delicious ones while participating in the Joy for Life retreat in April. Then I was visiting my family and was told that my six year old granddaughter had been taking Prilosec and similar drugs for her stomach aches for months, but nothing helped. I was horrified that a physician would prescribe such medication for a little child.
I immediately began making green smoothies for my little grand daughter and her five year old brother, which they loved! She would even get me out of bed in the mornings, asking for green smoothie. On the third day, her stomach-ache went away!!
This was six months ago and she's still off Prilosec and on green smoothies. Her stomach aches are completely gone. One time, my grandson was stung by bees. I applied some green smoothie on the red area, and it took the pain away immediately. I'm enclosing a picture I took of them. I bought them a toy blender that we put the smoothies in and she pretends she made them in that. Both my grandchildren love choosing produce for our green smoothies, and helping with the preparation.
I have two older granddaughters that drink green smoothies also, and a baby granddaughter who will be having fresh vegetables and fruits made in the blender instead of store-bought, when she is old enough for solid foods.
