I’m that mum. Yep, the one that says if you eat all your dinner you’ll get something else afterwards. Some might call it a bribe, but I call it incentive.
Now to cut myself some slack, I do try to be careful with the exact wording of the ‘something else’ because I get it. Saying that the something else is ‘yummy or a treat’ kinda implies that the plate in front of them is c**p. Harsh, I know, but you know that’s what they’re thinking. Kids are clever creatures and they catch on quickly.
So when I do call on the ‘ice cream’ gods to get all the peas, carrots and broccoli in I reach for this super-quick and healthy dairy free ice cream option that both my babes LOVE. Truth be told, hubby and I make it for ourselves when they’re finally in bed.
