Notes
Green Food Coloring: You can use brands such as India Tree for a natural food coloring option. And remember that yellow and blue makes green! Another option is to blend in a small bit of spinach (make sure it is well purees (strain if needed), which offers color and nutrition without notable taste. For even more ease, spinach powder is available.
