Chococonut Smoothie

I made this one for the Husband and I for lunch. It was a hit!

* 2 cups coconut juice/water
* 1-2 handfuls Romaine lettuce
* 1.5 frozen bananas
* 2 Tbsp coconut butter
* 1 Tbsp maple syrup
* 1.5 Tbsp raw carob powder

Blend the Romaine with the coconut juice first. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend, blend, blend! The result is yummy, creamy and nutritious. The electrolytes from the coconut juice plus the simple carbs from the fruits+veggies (and maple syrup) are a perfect recovery boost just after a tough workout. 

Green Chocolate Monster Smoothie

I've had some requests from people to send them my smoothie recipes, so I've decided to publish some. Here's one I'm enjoying right now -

* 1 cup water
* 1 big handful of salad greens (or spinach would work well)
   NOTE: blend this together well before adding the rest of the ingredients for optimal smooth-ness
* 1 banana
* 1/3 cup coconut milk
* 1 heaping tablespoon of carob powder (raw cacao or cocoa are great too)
* 2 tbsp almond butter
* 2 tbsp maple syrup
* 1/2 serving of VEGA Wholefood Optimizer natural flavour (optional, of course)

This one is super smooth and tasty! If you're just getting used to greens in your smoothies, then gradually work up to a big handful. You can hardly taste them in any case, though. Try it! Share yours!
