Ultimate Green Smoothie

It's time to get this party started and what better way than to post my favorite green smoothie recipe! I have one of these nearly every morning and when I don't, I have one later in the day. my 6 month old LOVES it. Without further ado, here is the recipe with LOTS of wiggle room. Scale up as desired:

One extra large handful of spinach leaves
~1 C H2O
A generous splash of coconut milk (or fresh coconut milk ice cube)
~ 1T flax seed oil
1 frozen banana

The amount of water you add depends on the amount of spinach added and the desired thickness of the resulting smoothie. I prefer mine on the thick side. Sometimes I add some flax seed meal or wheat bran if I'm feeling adventurous. Pineapple and mango also make a lovely addition:)



Directions:

I have a Vitamix so I just throw everything in there together and blend. In my pre-Vitamix life, I blended the spinach together with the liquid ingredients and then added the banana in small chucks and blended.





Enjoy one every day!
