Vitamin central - green herb and yoghurt soup

I have 2 teenage daughters, aged 16 and 13.

Over the past year the main point of conflict in our home hasn't been clothes or homework - it has been vitamins, or rather the lack of them.

Their new found reluctance to eat vegetables (they ate them without a fuss as small children), combined with a seeming fear of going outside (where there is no wifi) have me stomping about the house declaiming about shingles and immune systems in a very "aged P" manner.

I don't like the image that conjures up, so this quick and easy to make soup has become my secret weapon. It is all things green and vibrant whizzed up so that nothing can be "picked out.

It is known in our house as "green soup" - as the actual ingredients change from month to month - but I prefer to think of it as "vitamin central" - somthing to keep my precious girls happy and healthy without involving arguements.
