I am going to type this out word for word so you know why this recipe is

 

the way it is.. so it may be kinda long.

 

 

Sneaky Dad's Pudding

 

This recipe was created by Louisville Lawyer John Borders, who said,

" The Point is to get fruits, veggies, essential fatty acids, fats and

protein all in a tasty pudding. I haven't felt guilty about feeding

this to my daughter Mattie almost every night, and she loves making it

with me. It's great bonding time for us. And if that weren't enough,

she LOVES the taste. She is THE quitessential picky eater. If she eats

 

it, most kids will. "

 

1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries (360ml/33g)

1 banana, cut into 4 pieces

1-2 tsp carb or cocoa powder (5-10ml)

2 tsp flaxseed oil-try butterscotch flavor! (10ml)

3-5 Tbsp nut butter ( preferably cashew or almond) (45-75ml)

2-3 Tbsp orange juice or other healthy juice, like carrot juice

(30-45ml)

2Tbsp fortified soymilk, any flavor (30ml) I would think rice milk okay

too

1/8-1/4 avocado, peeled, cut into a wedge

Optional ingredients: 1/4 tsp. spirulina, 1/8 tsp multidophilus or 2

Tbsp cooked carrots

 

Set your little companion up on a stool beside you, ready to toss in the

 

ingredients and push the button. Place all ingredients in a food

processor or blender. This works best in a food processor; you might

add a bit more juice or soy milk ir you use a blender. Blend until

smooth.
