Here is Lauren at the 4-H Special Foods Contest. Her objective was to prepare a nutritious smoothie in front of a judge. She also had to answer questions pertaining to the food pyramid and nutritional values of her smoothie as well as create a place setting according to certain guidelines.
The place setting was to potentially be used for a summer party in the back yard. Her smoothie was called "The Popeye Smoothie". We came up with the name from our neighbor Matt. I had to show Lauren on the internet who Popeye was. He is not from her generation I guess. Some of the ingredients were spinach, almond milk, honey, and bananas. It actually tasted very good!
She won the top award which was a purple ribbon! She now qualifies to compete at the State Fair.
