I have admitted here repeatedly (hoping confession is good for the soul) that I am not the world’s best cook.

Or even the world’s second best cook.

Really, the world screams “uncle” when I cook.

Aware of my one fault, I have attempted to make up for it in other ways so my family isn’t completely malnourished.

I watch what the boys have for snacks.

I pack healthy lunches.

I do what I can.

The boys like all those little packets of drink mix that you add to water bottles. As a treat once in awhile we choose a flavor…peach tea, pink lemonade, grape, etc. and shake, shake, shake for fun.

I was happy to find pink lemonade with added protein that the boys drink with gusto. A little extra protein mid-morning seems to help dispositions.

I then found a drink with a full serving of vegetables! Be still my malnourished heart. What could be better than that? The boys are always a little light on the vegetables.

So we added it to the water.

We stirred.

And stirred.

And stirred.






It tastes as bad as it looks.

Using a goldfish glass might have been a little pond-water foreshadowing…

  1. I had that gold fish glass… sniff, sniff… from Crate & Barrell, right, sniff? I can't keep glass alive in this home anymore…sniff.

  2. Yuck! That reminds me of when people rave about juicing everything, including greens, and then slurping it down. Glad it works for them. As for me – that’s why they make Centrum.
