I am sure you noticed my (not so) elegant play on words in an attempt to conceal that this is yet another green smoothie. I hedged that a swanky title would entice you guys!
Well, the thing is, this smoothie tastes awesome and much more like a fresh berry with a hint of coconut smoothie than a green monster, chug-it-because-it’s-good-for-you smoothie.
You guys probably realized by now that I am all about our food being good for us but that is definitely not enough; it also has to taste great and this smoothie answers the call.
The spinach is in there and you get all the benefits of its lovely raw self but you can’t taste it. At all. Yes, it takes over and turns this drink green but trust me, it’s invisible otherwise.
This is as easy as it gets. Only a handful of ingredients and a regular old blender will make this in seconds.

I have a tree nut allergy and can not have anything with coconut in it. Can you suggest a substitute?
Hi Lisa,
The coconut water is a really key part to this particular smoothie recipe. I would say to use a different recipe. Check out my book BLEND: Artisanal Smoothies For Food Lovers for more options. http://www.simplyartisanal.com
