Purple Ribbon

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.
