Mint Dream Cacao Smoothie….

This was much needed after a sand run with added arm and core work.  For this recipe I add zucchini in place of banana because I have a food sensitivity to banana.  I have banana on occasions but for smoothies I have found that replacing it with zucchini tastes great and keeps the sugar down.  For better digestion I recommend steaming the zucchini first then freezing (perfect prep-cooking task to create smoothies for the week). Give this one a try!

Ingredients:

·      ½ cup Steamed then Frozen Organic Zucchini

·      ½ cup frozen coconut meat

·      1 tbs almond butter

·      2 handfuls of Greens (spinach, kale, swiss chard)

·      ½ cup fresh mint

·      ½ cup water or fresh nut milk

·      Squeeze of lemon

Toppings: hemp seeds and cacao nibs and don’t forget your glass straw #noplastic
