Last year Marton Public School hosted our Mad Food Science Program for their entire school. A P&C mum recently contacted me to share her excitement that the school this year were going to be offering The Mad Food Science Green Smoothie as a fun food from the canteen for St Patrick’s Day. I was so excited! It got me thinking about what other ways could we celebrate St Patricks Day with real food. So I put the call out to our incredible Kids Health Hero Ambassadors, and here’s some ideas they came up with for Fun Green Real Food For St Patrick’s Day.
The Mad Food Science Green Smoothie
Over the 2 years of our Australian Tour, I served around 1,000 litres of this green smoothie to over 20,000 people. I’ve had kids tell me this smoothie looks like snot, baby poo, vomit and more, but it’s amazing to watch those same kids downing a glass and then come back for more. Enjoy watching the expressions as you share this green smoothie.
