Lean & Green Smoothie

---

Green smoothies are a great way to get a serving of veggies in at the top of your day, and make a great carrier for any liquid or powdered supplements you may be taking. Here's on of my favorites:

Ingredients:
-1 medium organic banana (ripe) 
-1/2 cup frozen organic mango
-1/2 cup frozen organic pineapple
-1-2 cups of organic spinach
-1 tsp Hawaiian spirulina
-1 small chunk of ginger (thumb-print sized)
-water to desired consistency 

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender, nutribullet, ninja, etc...
2. Blend until very smooth, and enjoy!

Serves 1

Tips:
-Using frozen fruit instead of ice creates a very smooth texture, however, if you only have fresh fruit, just add 1 cup of ice to this recipe.
-You can store and freeze all of the fruit ingredients together ahead of time to have a quick and easy, "just add water," meal or snack for on-the-go.
