Ingredients

  • 2 small ripe bananas
  • 2 organic blood oranges, juiced (~1/2 cup or 120 ml)
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) light coconut milk (carton beverage or canned)
  • 2-3 Tbsp (30-45 ml) fresh lime juice (for tartness // add to taste)
  • 2 big handfuls (~60 g) fresh or frozen greens (organic kale + spinach are best)
  • Your favourite protein powder, if desired

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
  2. Add more liquid if it has trouble blending. Add ice to thicken. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more banana to sweeten, or lime juice for tartness.
  3. Best when fresh, though leftovers keep well-covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
