Pina Colada Green Smoothie

By jsides

The sweetness of the fruit (especially the bananas) hides the bitter flavor of the greens. This recipe is a great start for those looking to try a green smoothie because it’s really sweet. As your palate adjusts to the green taste, you may find some smoothies too sweet and start adding more and more greens!

Ingredients

• 1/2-1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk (I make my own!)
• 1/2-1 cup of water or other alternative milk
• 6 ice cubes
• 1-2 large leaves of kale, or 2 cups of spinach
• 1-2 TBSP of Chia seeds
• 1-2 TBSP of ground flax seeds
• 1 banana
• 1 cup of frozen fruit: I use pineapple and mango

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients into a blender and press the ice crush function and then blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Makes one large serving or two medium sized servings.
