I like making the kids a Green St Patty's Smoothie. The green part being spinach (they have no clue), with strawberries, yogurt, honey and milk. So yummy and festive at the same time for St. Patty's day. Then for the adult beverage we have green beer!! Something else that is fool proof is to add green dye to the kids cereal milk. They flip over this one too!!

How do they get the pancakes to stay green like that? Mine would totally be brown on the outside.
