Orange Greensicle Smoothie

I just made this today because I had coconut milk and greens that I had to use up, but I had forgotten that when I made this a few weeks ago, I said to myself, "This is my new favorite smoothie!"  Then, I didn't make it again.  Well, when I drank this, I immediately remembered that and said, "I have to post this one so I don't forget!"

Make it! Make it! Make it!  This is the best green smoothie I have ever had!!!  Really, I'm not lying.

Okay, so here are the ingredients - I doubled it this morning and it made 4 small cups - enough so I could drink one and then put the other three in the freezable ball jars so that I can put them in my lunch and Atzin's lunch.  This method with the ball jars works really well.  I tried it out a couple weeks ago and I had a smoothie that was just right for my afternoon workout, I had a smoothie for lunch, etc.  By mid day or early afternoon, this is melted and ready to shake and drink! (I digress ... back to the ingredients....)

(This is the doubled version I made this morning which makes the 4 small cups or 2 large ones)

2 medium frozen bananas
1/2 cup coconut milk
4 cups mixed greens or kale (I know, this sounds like a lot, but it really works! And it's okay.)
1/4 cup raw cashews
2 medium oranges
1/4 to 1/2 cup almond milk (Depends on the consistency that you want).

Notice there is no sweetener added to this smoothie - you don't need one.  The bananas and oranges are enough.  The frozen bananas and cashews help to give it a really creamy texture.  You won't be disappointed!  This is so good! And if you don't drink dairy, like I rarely do nowadays, this green smoothie can replace that milk in the morning so you make sure you get your calcium and many other added vitamins and minerals you get from the kale and other fruits.

Directions: Put it all in your blender, except the almond milk.  Blend it up, adding the almond milk as desired.

What are you waiting for?  Go...go make it!
