Triple Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are a wonderful way to start out a hot, summer morning. Loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, and the refreshing cool that prepares you for a sweltering 104...smoothies rock. Many folks are worry about the outcome (taste) of a green smoothie and I can vouch that sometimes, smoothies suck. But you drink it anyways. You tighten your big girl undies, plug your nose and go for it.

If you are looking for a green smoothie that won't make you gag, look no further. This green smoothie will cleanse your GI tract and your soul without bombarding your gag reflux.

The Recipe:

• A handful of spinach
• A handful of kale
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1 cup coconut milk (full fat, not the water in the can. Think Thai Kitchen that you use for curry)
• 1/2 cup frozen mango
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp chia or flax seed
• 1 cup chopped pineapple

The Method:

• Blend it until all is smooth. Pour; drink. maybe share some.

TIP: Don't freak your kids out by putting this in a clear cup. Put it in an opaque container with a straw and tell them that it is a beach smoothie. Sometimes the imagination is key.
