Green Goddess Smoothie

Don't be fooled by the green color (or the manic expression on my face)!  This smoothie is so delicious and, of course, good for the 'bod', too.

What's in it?
Coconut water replenishes minerals and electrolytes lost through sweating
Spinach is a wonderful source of chlorophyll and iron, important for healthy blood
Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and fiber
Coconut oil is a healthy fat source that supports adrenal function and fat metabolism
Hemp seeds are an excellent vegetarian source of Omegas 3's and protein


Recipe:

(serves 1)

1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup coconut water
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 small frozen banana 
3/4 cup of spinach
2 tablespoons of hemp seeds or hemp protein powder
1 tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil
dash of cinnamon
a pinch of Celtic sea salt

And a happy hot day to you!
