Not-so smoothie - Win a $150 Visa Gift Card from The Laughing Cow

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and The Laughing Cow.

Adding healthy stuff like vegetable puree to kids' meals hoping it goes undetected, is a popular concept to get a little more nutrition in them.

I'm not very good at it.

The Internet is rife with people extolling the virtues of smoothies. More specifically, smoothies made supersonically healthy by putting spinach in them.

Spinach? Yeah, that's what I thought, too, but people swear you can't taste it.

I like to think I'm open to new things, and there's no doubt I need to eat more vegetables, so I thought, "Why not give it a try?" I mean, if it's good enough for the Internet, it's good enough for me.

Internet? You lied. My beloved strawberry-banana smoothies were green, slightly earthy and had stems.

What? You're supposed to use baby spinach? Take out stems? Use less? Uh...

So, I either need a new recipe, a new blender, or I just need to grow up.
