Smoothie Love: Fruity Colada Green Smoothie

For me, green smoothies are so healthy, energizing and delicious, that giving or receiving a smoothie

is a truly an act of love.

I mean, what better way to show someone you care!

On several occasions, I have gifted friends and family members with a gaily-wrapped mason jar

full of smoothie goodness along with a little note and a recipe card– and they loved it!

I have also given green smoothies as hostess gifts–in lieu of wine.

Drink to your health, literally!

Like many of us, I have carried a green smoothie in a thermos to work, meetings or special events

to make sure I had the fuel I needed to get through the day.

Now that’s self-love!

This morning, I foraged through my kitchen to find some organic goodies for a nutritious smoothie.

I found some fresh pineapple,  an orange, a banana, some strawberries and spinach.

Plus, I added some healthy superfoods to boost the nutritional punch– including flax seed powder,

chia seeds, organic peanut butter, organic greens powder and some vegan protein powder.

The addition of coconut milk elevated this drink to the “colada” level

This recipe makes enough for 2 full mason jars of healthy smoothie goodness.

I drank one for lunch.

I saved the other one for a post-workout pick me up.
