    Strawberry Coconut Green Smoothie

    Ingredients

    1 cup frozen spinach
    1 can coconut juice
    1 banana
    1-2 cups Strawberries, sliced

    Directions
    1. Begin by placing the Spinach alone in your blender. Pulse it a couple times to chop the spinach up. I’ve found this helps the spinach incorporate better into smoothies without missing chunks of the leafy green. 
    2. Add half the Coconut Juice, puree. 
    3. Add banana and strawberries, blend until well mixed, while slowly adding the rest of the Coconut Juice.
    4. Serve and Enjoy!

    Do you ever go through food phases? I’ve always loved smoothies, but recently have started making them more frequently. I just love how much goodness can be packed into a smoothie, and usually the kids love them as well!

    Mark brought home some Coconut Juice one day, and I immediately though Smoothie! I keep a bag of frozen spinach just for such occasions, and we’ve been buying a lot more fresh fruit. Personally I don’t think you can have a smoothie without a little banana, but the Strawberries are what make this my kids favorite.

    My kids often like to spoon their smoothies out, making huge messes. I was so tired of cleaning up smoothie, that I found these fun Silikids Straw tops. The kids think they’re fun, and I no longer have big messes to clean up. My kids also love that mom lets them blow bubbles in their drink now, because it won’t overflow when they get a little crazy.
