Tropical Smoothie
This is so delicious that my young daughter wanted more.
What you need:
Blender
2 bananas
1 small papaya
1 young coconut (use both 'meat' & water)
Use a cleaver to chop off the top of the coconut, be sure not to spill the water. Pour the water into blender and scoop out the 'meat' with a spoon. Add in the cut papaya and bananas. Blend well until smooth. Add a little cold water if needed. Makes 3 cups.
Enjoy!

Smoothie Yummies
From Jinjee of http://www.TheGardenDiet.com
"I have been drinking green smoothies every day for a while now and the energy boost I get from these is phenomenal. It seems to be cumulative - the longer I do this, the more energy I'm getting! You have to drink it to believe it!!!
Here are some of our favorite green smoothie recipes...Just blend them up in your blender on high until liquified, and drink!
Simple Smoothie:
1 banana
1 peeled orange
1/2 bunch kale
1/2 bunch romaine lettuce
About 16 ounces fresh squeezed orange juice
Berry Yummy:
A few pieces pineapple
1/2 pack blueberries
1 pear
A few strawberries
1/2 bunch chard
1 bunch parsley
16 oz fresh squeezed orange juice
Blue and Green:
1 banana
1/2 pack blueberries
1 pear
1 peeled orange
1/2 bunch collards
1/2 bunch red leaf lettuce
16 ounces of fresh squeezed orange juice
These make a whole vitamix container of smoothie, about 2 liters! Using fresh squeezed oj makes it sweeter, allowing for more greens than when just using water. Experiment with different fruits and greens: bok choy, cilantro, spinach, different varieties of kale and lettuces, etc.
For more information on green smoothies you must go to the mother of green smoothies, Victoria Boutenko, and her award winning book Green For Life: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=2807833
In Joy!

Another superfood
Just a good young coconut.
Crack it open at the top, drink the juice - good for replenishing lost fluids especially after some vigorous exercises. And use a spoon to scope up the coconut 'meat' within. Nutritious.
