Looking for clever ways to include fruits and veggies in your kids' diet? Fans of Tony Stark (Iron Man) will be familiar with his healthy green juice. This juice is a rich red-gold, more like Iron Man's suit, thanks to red chard. For a greener juice, use green chard. Either way, this juice is full of good ingredients that help make kids strong enough to fight the "bad guys." This recipe is from “Best 100 Juices for Kids” by food blogger and San Diego mom, Jessica Fisher.
