Spinach smoothie






Ingredients:

1/2c light coconut milk (or dairy milk)
1/2-1c coconut water (or water or more dairy milk)
3c or more fresh spinach
2 t vanilla
1c frozen pineapple chunks
1 frozen banana (i peel then freeze once bananas are too brown or bruised to eat.
**frozen fruit means you don't need to add ice to this smoothie!)

1. Blend the coconut milk, coconut water, vanilla, and spinach until smooth. I blend for about a minute because I do not like getting a chunk of spinach in my drink.
2. Add the pineapple and banana, blend till smooth.
Serve immediately or freeze for frozen dessert.

Tip: when pineapples are cheap, i buy a few, and when they are practically over ripe, i chunk them up and freeze them. Frozen pineapple makes extra thick smoothies so you might need a bit more liquid.
