Comments: The picture quality isn't very good, I apologize, but the shake was a greenish color. Don't be fooled by the color though, this shake was delicious! I personally thought it was a little too sweet so I may try it again with a little less peanut butter, but all in all it was a winner. My three year old even loved it, so if you're searching for a way to sneak more veggies into your toddler give it a try! I would love to hear your thoughts on it as well.
