3 Smoothie recipes for Picky Eaters

My toddler is one of the pickiest eaters ever. What he likes today, he hates tomorrow. I never know what to make for him. It can be frustrating to get him to eat at all sometimes, let alone eat healthfully!

Camp Shane, the world’s longest running weight-loss camp for children, in partnership with renowned child obesity expert and Board Certified Pediatrician Dr. Joanna Dolgoff, has developed a well-balanced menu that is focused on portion-controlled meals and snacks intended to ensure healthy weight loss. All three of the following smoothie recipes, courtesy of Camp Shane, are less than 175 calories per serving and help kids achieve the recommended 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

Banilla Shake

1 ½ cups skim or 1% milk
1 peeled and sliced medium banana, frozen (Wrap sliced banana in plastic wrap or place in a freezer storage bag. Freeze several hours or overnight.)
½ tsp. vanilla extract, optional
¼ tsp. almond extract, optional

In a blender combine all ingredients, except cinnamon. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Pour into glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired. Yield: approximately 2 ¼ cups.

Blueberry-Orange Whirl

1 12-ounce package frozen blueberries, unthawed, or 2 1/2 cups fresh
8 ounce low-fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

In an electric blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. Yield: approximately 3 ½ cups.

Very Berry Smoothie

1/4 cup berries (your choice!)
4 ounces skim milk
6 ounces calcium-fortified orange juice

Blend together all three ingredients until smooth. Yield: approximately 1 serving.

How did your picky eater like them?

Coffee Cup With a Cause

Stopping by at 7-Eleven to grab a coffee has been something I've done for a long time. Now I can actually help a charitable cause by doing what I've always been doing. 

7-Eleven has a charity-focused coffee campaign “Coffee Cup With a Cause” supporting a cause has never been easier.  Now, through December 2010, simply purchase a limited-edition 20-oz coffee cup designed by a featured celebrity and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the celebrity’s charity of choice.  7-Eleven will introduce new celebrity (from entertainment to sports) designed cups throughout 2010, which will be sold in 7-Eleven stores nationwide.

Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and Benji Madden designed the inaugural cup, with proceeds from their customized cup benefiting The Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation, which was founded by Nicole and Joel in 2007. 

7-Eleven is guaranteeing a $250,000 minimum donation to each charity, although if enough of us purchase these cups, donations could reach as high as $300,000! 

For additional information, please visit www.cupwithacause.org or check them out at www.facebook.com/7Eleven and www.twitter.com/7Eleven.

Clorox's I Don't Want To Miss Contest

In school, for year after year I had the perfect attendance record. But since having kids, I've fallen sick more times than I can count. My toddler goes to pre-school and bless his heart, seems to bring back some new germ/virus practically every other week. And this in a class comprising of just 5 students! I shudder to imagine how it'll be when he starts going to regular school with hundreds of students, all liberally sharing their germs. The dual risk of the seasonal flu as well as the 2009 H1N1 virus, makes this year's flu season especially complicated. 

To help spread the word about flu prevention, former American Idol finalist Danny Gokey has paired up with The Clorox Company to launch I Don't Want to Miss…, a national campaign designed to get teens and their teachers involved in flu prevention.

Now in its second year, the program features a contest that invites school musical groups, like glee clubs, show choirs, etc. to develop a video performance of a song written by Berklee College of Music student Will Wells on what they don't want to miss out on if they were home sick and why prevention is important. The winning school will win a music class led by former American Idol finalist Danny Gokey!

For each entry submitted, The Clorox Company will donate $100 (up to $10,000) to the Sophia's Heart Foundation, a charity founded by Gokey in honor of his late wife, Sophia, and dedicated to helping children achieve academic success via musical training and restoring musical dreams in children.

You can visit the Clorox page on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/Clorox) to learn more about this creative and informational challenge. For the first 100 groups to submit, the teacher will receive a wellness care package from The Clorox Company.

Disclosure - I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Clorox and received $20 thank-you gift certificate.

Frigidaire's Spin & Win game

The holidays have come and gone, but that’s no reason to stop being charitable. Here’s one idea to keep the giving going in the new year.

Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner are teaming up once again to support Save the Children, an organization dedicated to helping children living in poverty in the United States. Their new Spin & Win game gives you the opportunity to win gift cards for spending quality time with your tykes – whether it’s curling up with some new books, starting a craft project or taking in a family flick.

They’re giving away a prize every day. Plus, you could also win a brand new Frigidaire Affinity washer and dryer, with time-saving features that give you more time for the important things in life.

Best of all, once you've registered to play, every time you spin, Frigidaire will donate $1 to Save the Children, as part of their $250,000 commitment to support Save the Children’s CHANGE (Creating Healthy, Active & Nurturing Grown Up Environments) program, dedicated to providing nutritious snacks and promoting healthier lifestyles for children living in poverty in the United States.

Disclosure - Writing this post gets me an entry into a giveaway.
