Secret mission for hiding fiber ...

Quick little tip I wanted to pass on ...
I have a very picky eater ...
She really is giving me a hard time with her veggies and most fruits ... (you'd think this would be getting easier as they get older right?)  Especially with the addition of braces and all those non-foods they tell you not to eat!  Ugh ... and I'm not getting into the belly aches that accompany non-fiber diets here, but those aren't fun as you all know.

If you make lasagna or other Italian pasta dishes ... take a can of white cannelini beans ... rinse them well and add them (I use 1/2 a can) to some red sauce in the blender.  Your family will never know they are hiding in there!  You can get more creative with different meals but it is so easy to do.  I told them after they devoured it and they could care less.  Whatever...

Enjoy your secret mission!



PS ... I love, love, love my Vitamix blender ... we use it multiple times each day and it always does it's job.  See my book for more uses of this godsend:
