I used to make this for my little ones when they were smaller. They used to love it . In fact, they still do but I don’t puree it anymore.

My baby isn’t a baby anymore, more like a toddler, but I will definitely try this. I’m always in need of creative ways to get him to eat his veggies and mint sounds like a good trick ;)
