Take Me Away Green Smoothie

The Winter Wonderland continues here in Upstate NY, and for those who aren’t lucky enough to be somewhere tropical right now…well…we wish we were.

Though I can’t get to somewhere warm right now, I rounded up the most sunshine-inspired ingredients in my kitchen and combined them with mega-vitamin packed kale for a tasty tropical treat.

Ingredients

1 avocado
1/2 c frozen pineapple
1 c. frozen mango
1 large handful chopped kale
1 c. filtered water

Directions

Cut the avocado and scoop it out of peel. Add in frozen ingredients, chopped kale and water. Blend until smooth.

If you don’t own a Vitamix I highly recommend purchasing one. It’s essentially self-cleaning, which makes it infinitely better than any other blender I’ve used, and well worth the extra expense.
