Green Breakfast Smoothie

A breakfast replacement or addition that is full of satisfying and detoxifying ingredients.

The avocado makes the texture of this smoothie, so do not skip it! It might take a few times trying it before your palate adjusts to the natural sweetness of the vegetables, so give this one a few tries if at first you are not sure you like it.

Green Breakfast Smoothie

PREP TIME: 10 minutes

BLEND TIME: 2-3 minutes

MAKES: 1 serving

Note: I like to prepare the vegetables in batches and save in a quart sized mason jar so I have 4-5 servings at a time. This makes it easy to pop in the blender and be ready to go in 5 minutes as you get ready for work.

INGREDIENTS	DIRECTIONS
1/3 cup coconut milk or cream OR 1-2 tbs coconut oil	Layer ingredients in the blender starting with the celery and cucumber (and coconut milk if using). The drink will be room temperature, so if you prefer cold and smoothie-like, add ice.
1-2 celery stalks	2. Blend the ingredients until smooth.
1/2 cucumber	3. Pour and enjoy!
1 cup spinach or other mild green
2 carrots
1/2 avocado
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I recommend hydrolyzed beef)
pinch of sea salt
