MMmmm! Simple Green Smoothies inspires us everyday! This is one of our inspirations, Pina Coladas for breakfast!!
Lemon Coconut Pina Colada
3 large cabbage leaves, torn
2 celery sticks
2 cups fresh or 1 can of pineapple
1 cup of water or juice from canned pineapple
1/2 can coconut milk, stirred well
6 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 ice cubes
Pour your entire can of coconut milk into a bowl and stir well as coconut milk separates in the can. You will use half of it in this recipe.
Place all of your ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth. Note that pineapple can leave an obvious pulp texture in your smoothy so depending on the age and quality of your blender you may have to blend on high a little longer to get it this smooth.
Pour into glasses, serve, sip and smile.
Bonus! To the leftover coconut milk add 2 Tbsp cocoa, a splash of vanilla, a pinch of salt and then sweeten to taste, I use 1 1/2 Tbsp Maple Syrup. Eat it straight up before anyone sees you or serve a dollop on pound cake. You can thank me later.
Enjoy!
(hmmm . . . it’s still loading on facebook, should be there soon!)
