Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 , We found a gf taco seasoning and began 'polluting' the taco mix with blended/mashed black beans. When she adjusted to that I began putting in grated/mashed veggies of all sorts-one at a time. Now the tacos at our house have onion, garlic, turnips, rhutabagas, carrots etc; all are grated/mashed and not readiliy identifiable. I've also had success with the cauliflower 'potatoes' to which I've add other cooked and mashed veggies also. The key for both of these has been to find a flavoring that she likes and douse up the veggies with it. >Date: Fri Apr 15, 2005 3:09 pm >Subject: Need advice about Garden of Life " Perfect Food " -chlorella >mprdh2004 >stopped eating them and I am getting worried because there are so >many nutrients they aren't getting.

If it's not, then can anyone recc. a different veggie powder that doesn't have the chlorella. I am am my wit's end with the veggeie situation. I can't sit by any longer and watch this, I have to get the veggies in them somewhow. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 The only problem with disguising vegies in food is that they get cooked. Vegies must be fresh to really have the benefit, they also should be picked when ready, most fruit would be picked weeks before the phytonutrients come into the plant, some vegies are picked too soon also. This is why it is essential now days to supplement, espeically the kids who wont touch raw vegies. Of course cooked vegies are better then no vegies, but the nutrient losses are huge. mbrookh wrote: > > , > We found a gf taco seasoning and began 'polluting' the taco mix with > blended/mashed black beans.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Frozen is better then fresh as far as nutrients values because they actually are pick fresh and frozen right away. The fresh stuff we get in grocery store is 2 weeks old, alot of nutrient loss by then. Don't their teeth get cold eating it that way? Burrrrrr.
