A group activity

 Difficulty level: Easy

Most kids (and people in general, let’s face it) don’t enjoy eating vegetables or fruits because of their taste. Would it help if they see it in an ice cream form? Well, its worth a shot! 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

With the wave of a magic wand (okay, a blender) turn your childrens' most hated vegetables into a game-changing dessert. Maybe, just maybe this will also make them eat the actual veggies and fruits in the long run.

Who says veggies can be dessert? We say so, and we swear by this carrot and cardamom combo.
