Stretching Fruit

My DH just figured out a way to *sneak* more protein into those fruit smoothies!!! He uses canned, drained garbanzo beans and tofu!! The children LOVE it and have no clue what strange things are in it. :)
*My children love Bananas but I cant allow them to eat too many at a time (digestive issues ;)) So we peel them and put wooden chopsticks (disposable kind) in the end of them and wrap them individually in ceran wrap, put them in a huge freezer Ziploc bag and freeze them until we are out of banana season. They are banana popsicles and they are SO yummy!
*Grapes are fantastic washed and frozen

Cutting Down Sugar

"If you want to 'ease' out of sugar, just cut down...half as much in
every baking recipe you do. Buy some green stevia and give that a
whirl; put in half a tsp for each cup of sugar you leave out and see
what you think. Experiment :)"
