Green Smoothie Girl

That's what GranEllen calls you, and for good reason, too!



Just look at that face!!


We make a green smoothie almost every day. You love making it with me :)


Maybe you like them so much because GranEllen made me drink one every day after you were born :)
Here's one of our favorite combinations:

3 frozen strawberries
3 unsulfured dried apricots
1/4 c frozen blueberries
1/2 a mango
1 banana
1/2 an apple
1/2 an avocado
1 handful of spinach or
1 large leaf of kale or chard
1 T coconut oil
1 T unsweetened cacao
1 T powdered mixed greens
2 T ground flax seed
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup rice, almond, or coconut milk
add water as needed

This makes about 1 cup for you and 2 cups for me. 
You usually end up drinking some of mine, too :)
