Creamy Pina Colada

I follow Simple Green Smoothies on Instagram and have loved trying some of their recipes.  We drink a lot of smoothies around here.  I usually just throw a bunch of stuff into my Vitamix and turn it on, but every now and then it's good to grab a new combination idea or twist.  This smoothie is a combination of a few different recipes from the SGS feed and it's our current family favorite for lunch.  My measurements are approximations because that's how I roll when it comes to making smoothies, but it'd be hard for you to mess up this tasty nutrient-packed ingredient combination.  Try it!


1/2 to 1 cup coconut milk
1/2 to 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 to 1/2 cup water, depending on how thick you like your smoothie
1 cup packed fresh spinach
1/2 ripe avocado
1 to 2 cups pineapple (I've only ever used frozen - I like my smoothies thick!)
1 or 2 very ripe bananas
handful of ice cubes
I also toss in a handful of frozen mango and/or small orange if I have any.

Blend well and enjoy!
