Refreshing Green Smoothie

I thought I would share this refreshing smoothie that’s perfect for the hot summer months!

All of my smoothies follow Kelly Leveque’s “Fab Four Smoothie” model to incorporate protein (20+ grams), fiber, fat and greens. This combination makes for a nutritionally packed and balanced meal that keeps me full through the mornings! I have a large buffet of ingredients now that makes it easy to create all kinds of variety within my smoothies, but this one has been a favorite lately because of the refreshing, summery flavors.

Refreshing Green Smoothie

1 cup of spinach (I prefer frozen)
a few slices of frozen banana
1/4-1/3 cup frozen tropical fruit mix
1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (I used coconut, but also love cashew, macadamia and almond)
1 tbsp MCT oil
2 tbsp of fiber - I did chia seeds and this prebiotic fiber
