Some days my kids do not want to eat their breakfast. I do believe that breakfast is the most important meal, especially for kids. My daughter just started morning pre-school and she needs nutrition to make it through her busy mornings. When the kids get picky, I get sneaky. “Hey kids, do you want some ice-cream for breakfast?” YES!!! Sneaky breakfast smoothie it is! Here’s how I make this work.
Sneaky Breakfast Smoothie For Kids
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Raw Milk Kefir or Coconut Milk
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (for minerals)
- 1 cube frozen liver — here is how I make my liver cubes
- 1 cup frozen berries
- 1 handful organic greens
- 1-2 cups ice
- Extra optional additions: chia seeds, shredded coconut, coconut oil, grass-fed butter, raw pastured egg yolks, goji berries, fish oil….anything you want to sneak in!
Directions:
- Blend everything in a high power blender, add enough ice to make it an ice-cream consistency
- Serve immediately
- Sneaky, sneaky!

July 23, 2013 at 3:38 amThe addition of liver is intriguing and not something I’ve thought of adding to smoothies, though I do raw eggs, spinach, and flax seed. My freezer has more liver than I know what to do with! Can you tell more about how you do the cubed liver? Do you puree it while it’s frozen? Do you add it to the smoothie raw, or how does that work?? Thanks!

August 12, 2013 at 8:50 pmI actually typically use lamb liver…least livery taste. Otherwise I use chicken livers.

July 30, 2013 at 4:26 pmCould you expand on the liver a bit more? What kind and how do you prepare it? Is it cooked? The idea interests me if I could get away with it.

July 31, 2013 at 2:15 amLiver is one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet. I buy organic grass-fed liver. Usually lamb liver because it has the least “livery” flavor. I puree it and freeze it in ice-cube trays. Then I have liver cubes to add to food. I highly recommend this book if you want to know more about traditional, nutrient dense foods and cooking methods —-> https://amzn.to/13lkdTI

December 18, 2013 at 5:14 amIf you are concerned about parasites in raw liver, freeze it for 3 weeks and then eat it. Otherwise, I eat it raw

I grew up in northern Greenland, and occasionally ate raw seal liver (it’s much better than it sounds, I love it – best liver there is), but I don’t like the other livers, so your method would be good to sneak it in.
I love your blog and check it daily, keep up the good work!
