Smoothies?
Good morning girls!
I bought the innocent smoothies recipe book years ago and yesterday I bought, prepped and froze all the necessary fruit to make one in the morning really quickly whilst feeding ds. I made a strawberry and banana one this morning with the following;
orange juice
apple juice
7 strawberries
half a banana
I let ds have a taste and he was hooked! I put some in his sippy cup and he was right in there lol. I find it hard to get water into him so I'm chuffed to bits he likes smoothies.
My problem is - is he allowed them?
I know you should dilute juice but we don't dilute purees and technically all I'm doing is whizzing the fruit into a drink rather than a pur????e. He eats oranges constantly so a little juice is obviously present there too.
I'm just confused really. Smoothies are so healthy and I would love to be able to share my morning drink with him towards his five a day!

I would just make sure he drinks them in a fairly short sitting rather than sipping away all day and constantly/repeatedly exposing his teeth to the sugar, if that makes sense?
I'm getting the backlash now though lol he seems to have found some new energy stores lol he's crawling around everywhere at a rate of knotts.
What have I done! Haha x
