Buy a juicer!

Izzy doesn't hate vegs but I find it hard to get what I think is a good amount in her.

Dan just bought a juicer, so he did some carrots and gave Izzy some in her beaker and she absolutely LOVED it and wanted more!

I am certainly going to be giving her at least one beaker of veg juice a day from now on!

What a great idea! Glad she liked it!

ewwww really that worked wow im surprised xx

Carrot juice is quite nice actually - surprising!

This morning she had melon and pear juice and glugged that - but she wont get much of the fruit ones as they will have too much sugar in!

I was thinking about this the other day when I was in the juice isle in ASDA. Didn't actually know you can buy veg juice in a carton but wowza its so expensive compared to a big bag of carrots etc.

Can you recommend a good juicer Lisa?

dont u have to tart it up with something else to tast nice. iv a smoothie maker and i zipped a bag of carrots, it was vile! do u cook the carrots first?

this sounds like a fab idea to get more fruit ad veg down lil miss....lewis loves fruit but lily-ann has alot of problems eating it and more often than not chokes

no laura just bunged the carrot straight in
this mornings was pear and melon which was quite sweet

this is the one Dan just got http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500002451&langId=-1&searchTerms=PHILLIPS+JUICER
reduced from £99 to £75 and he did a bit of research first so must have had good reviews elsewhere, it gets 4.8/5 on argos which is good

its easy to use and clean and comes with a big book of recipes.

kenty I reckon it would be ideal for Lily-ann then

thing is even if they don't like the plain veg ones, you could add a pear or apple to sweeten it up

i made myself an orange one last night that made me feel sick...the box says minimum peeling lol, so i bunged the whole lot in...Dan thought it was hilarious that I drank it cos he said it would have tasted vile with the peel ...yup he is right!

I use a blender as my 8 year old will not eat veg and sometimes it works but not always.
He does love orange juice so might try the juicer idea x

oooo good thinking. I get the funniest looks when offering veg - but he's always interested in what we're drinking (he's a milk and water only bean ) so might give this a go.

Have done that before with orange
Wonder if a hand-held blender is up for the job at all though
