I must confess- I'm deathly afraid of birds. A couple years ago we had a robin nest right next to our back door and the mama loved to dive bomb me every time I tried to leave my house. I finally resorted to parking my car in the front until the birds left the nest, and vowed that I'd do whatever I needed to do to keep them away the next year! Last year swallows tried to nest on our porch and we put a stop to that pretty quickly. Did you know that PAM makes a great bird deterrent? :)
When I was little, every spring the swallows would build a nest on the front porch light of my parent's house. Again, I was dive bombed any time I came or went.... and obviously scarred for life.
Anyway, this morning I whipped up this yummy orange smoothie pop recipe for the kids. I hide butternut squash and carrots in this one... and they love it!
Why squash and carrots? They both provide a ton of antioxidants and fiber! They also are both packed full with B vitamins- specifically B6, which is great for bone health and for keeping the nervous and immune system healthy. Squash also had a good amount of potassium, which is super important to bone health.
These really are tasty... you might want to hide one in the back of the freezer for yourself.
