Green Drink Ideas for Class

you could do Green tea, green koolaid, green soda, I think that the green food coloring for the milk is a great idea kinda cute.

What about lime kool-aid?

Or maybe white grape juice with the food coloring?

I have no experience with this but here are some ideas:
Propel water with green food coloring
Plain water with food coloring
White grape juice with green food coloring

(My first thought was the milk thing too)

You could do the green sorbet drink that you sometimes see at bridal/baby showers. It has sprite, orange juice, and lime sorbet...or something like that. You could look it up online.

lol green hi-c thats cool they sell it cheap in a gallon:)

I think the green milk is a great idea! Also, it's won't curdle. Asked around and that's totally false.

Hi K.,

I think green milk sounds gross, but then again I'm not 4. I just asked my 5 year old son if he would drink it and the biggest grin appeared on his face! I'm positive your child's preschool class will love that. I found a recipe on 'www.allrecipes.com' for Green Punch that sounds pretty good. According to the ratings, it's a big hit with kids. Good luck with whatever you choose - I'm sure the class will have a ball!

INGREDIENTS
2 (3 ounce) packages lime flavored gelatin mix
1 quart hot water
1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 cups white sugar
4 1/2 cups cold water
2 liters ginger ale
DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan dissolve the gelatin in 1 quart of hot water. Allow to cool.
When gelatin is cool, pour into a large punch bowl, Stir in pineapple juice, orange juice concentrate, sugar and 4 1/2 cups cold water. Pour in ginger ale just before serving.

Koolaid makes grape and other flavors in a clear mix now. you could make one of those and put food coloring in it. By the way, just my opinion... I know that the kids are going to be drinking that much of whatever is made but I would be really upset to know that my four year old is having soda(the other suggestions that were given). We of course limit sugar and one of the big things we have read is that the average 5-10 year old drinks 6-12oz if soda a day. YUCK! Anyway, like I said, that is just my opinion. Make what ever you feel you would like.
Take care and I hope the party is fun!!!

I don't think Green Milk is gross, when I was in school, the school used to give us green milk. That mom is just not fun! But there is green Kool-Aide, I am sure there are other green fruit drinks out there. And if you are taking it to the preschool, you could make a green drink in a bucket for them to pour into cups.
Here is an idea:
Lucky Lime Drinks
Put some scoops of lime sherbet in an ice cream bucket. Pour 7Up over the sherbet. Add a dollop of whipped cream, green sugar sprinkles and a green maraschino cherry to all the cups after it is poured.

One more:
Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1 scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
4 drops mint extract
2 ice cubes
2 drops of green food coloring in a blender
Frosted 16-ounce glass
Splash of seltzer water
Dollop of whipped cream

Directions

Combine milk, ice cream or frozen yogurt, extract, ice cubes, and food coloring in a blender.

Mix until smooth. Pour into empty ice cream bucket. When ready to serve, put into a cup. Add a splash of seltzer water and top with a dollop of whipped cream.

I used to be a preschool teacher and I used to buy Hawaiian Punch and Ginger Ale and then add Sherbert! What is nice about Hawaiian punch and sherbert is that they come in lots of colors, so you can use this for lots of holidays! I know that they make Green Hawaiian punch and lime sherbert! I hope this helps!

We've had green Koolaide but also made green milk shakes using vanilla ice cream, milk and food coloring. The mom thinking that green milk is gross obviously is NOT thinking like a 4 year old! At this age the grosser the better!
Good Luck.

You could try adding some blue koolaid in with a yellow drink, like gatoraid or even lemonaid. It's gotta make green...

I know this may come a little late...but...I would worry about bringing milk.Do you know if there are allergies in the classroom? My son is in second grade and there are certain treats they asked us not to bring in due to a few students with allergies.....

I would just die apple juice green...evey kid loves apple juice...(dont they?? :)

How about white grape juice (healthy) with green food colouring.
E.

Schwan's (the ice cream truck) makes a green sour apple jucie that is really good. Try that.

I seen some recipes on the net and one said sprite or 7-up with lime sherbert. I also seen green kool-aid mixed with sprite or 7-up. Or make green ice cubes with food coloring and put it in 7-up or Sprite and it will turn the drink green as it melts.

If you will have access to a blender here is a recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1 scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
4 drops mint extract
2 ice cubes
2 drops of green food coloring in a blender
Frosted 16-ounce glass
Splash of seltzer water
Dollop of whipped cream

Directions

Combine milk, ice cream or frozen yogurt, extract, ice cubes, and food coloring in a blender.

Mix until smooth. Pour into glass. Add a splash of seltzer water and top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Hope this helps

Hi-C Blast has a green juice out there, or I know they did last year at this time.

I think the green dye in the mill is fine, the kids won't think it is gross and you can't worry about pleasing every single kid AND their moms!:) You could make some kind of jello smoothy with pastachio pudding, watered down with milk so it is drinkable. Unfortunatly the few options for green drinks for kids is limited and most of them are gross:)
Try kaboose.com or familyfun.com, in their St. Patty's day section, there could be some more ideas there

What about Kool-aid or a green juice? I think there are some drink pouches that have kiwi juice in them too.

Caffeine-free lemon-lime Koolaid... (Btw, if you put food coloring in milk, it'll curdle real quick.) Or maybe food coloring in 7up? Never tried it, but put the color in white grape juice?

Hi K.,
I'm sure there is a Kool Aid flavor that is green. Try the packets.

I had green punch at a party not to long ago and I believe it was limeaid like those frozen cans in the frozen juice section. Mix it with sprite or 7-up and it's kinda slushy. My daughter and I both enjoyed it.

Green Koolaid can be purchased in a gallon form. I bought green apple Hi-C pouches for my son's 4-K friends.

why not get some green kool aid that would be easy and kids love it or they have down the juice aisle green hawaiin punch and other juice drinks u could buy

Hi-C makes a green juice drink. Probably all sugar though! I think green milk is a great idea! You could make or buy limeade (I think they have the frozen concentrate stuff in the freezer section by other juices). If you wanted to go all out, you could buy some green ice cream (mint or pistachio) and make milk shakes. Good luck!
:) M.

I'd test whatever you want to bring on your child first... if he thinks it's gross, don't take it. The milk idea sounded good to me. I would have checked with those who are supposed to drink it!

I don't know how you feel about drinks like Kool-aid, but I think there is a green one (lime) available. Just a thought... and good luck! ;o)

Hi K.,
How about Limeade??? Or Lime sherbert with 7up added? Have fun :) C.

Here is a recipe for a green punch that I made last year for my daughters st. paddy's day party in her class.

1 or 2 2liter bottles of ginger ale (depending on the class size)
1 2liter bottle of lemonade
2 packets of lime flavored koolaid
1 quart size container of lime sherbet
Mix the lemonade and the ginger ale. Next add the packets of lime flavored koolaid. pour into plastic cups for the kids and place a scoop of lime sherbet on top.

This was a hit with my daughters class. Also if you know the majority of the kids will not like the lime sherbet you can omitt that.
