Refreshing Island Smoothie (Serves2)

1 cup Aurthur's Smoothie (Pineapple Coconut)*
1/4 Cucumber, chopped
2 cubes Frozen Spinach
6 - 8 cubes of frozen unsweetened coconut or almond milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup Almond Milk (or flax or whatever dairy free option you like)
1 tbsp Cacao Nibs

If you would like to, you can add a teaspoon of ground flaxseed.
Method:

1.  Throw all the ingredients in your blender, put the lid on and hit that button to blend until smooth.

The cucumber in this smoothie counteracts the acidity of the pineapple juice. This smoothie was rejuvenating and a feast for the taste buds. The combination of cinnamon and cacao nibs just gives a delightful flavor to this smoothie!

* If you don't have Aurthur's smoothie on hand, you can substitute your own home made Island Fruit Blend. ( Recipe Below) There is no sugar added to this smoothie, and neither should there be. There is enough natural fructose in it to delight your taste buds without sending you on a sugar high. The green spinach takes care of that, so never fear.

 

Island Fruit Blend

1 Apple - juiced or 1/4 cup pressed unsweetened apple juice

1 Banana

1/4 cup Pineapple juice

1/4 Coconut  milk (Canned)

2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
