Coconut Cream Green Smoothie

4 cups greens: baby lettuce, spring mix, chard, spinach etc. only greens, not veggies
2 − 3 tablespoons coconut cream concentrate
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 − 2 apples, cored and sliced
4 good sized bananas
1 cup frozen peaches or mango chunks
½ cup water or organic apple juice

Put ingredients in blender in order listed. Add more water or juice if needed. Blend to a smooth yet thick consistency.

For a delicious change, any frozen berries can be used instead of the peaches or mangos.

This makes a wonderful and healthy breakfast. Enjoy!

Holy Schmoly! Does this make only ONE smoothie? 'Cause with all that fruit, it seems like it should feed an army. I purchased the concentrate but haven't had any luck getting it to blend. I will try this and see how it goes.

If the coconut cream concentrate is really hard, try putting the whole jar, or just the amount you want to use (in a container, of course) in warm water and let it sit until it's nice and soft. Then it should blend easily. :)

When I am trying to use CCC in a smoothie I add it to hot water 1st, then it mixes up really well. Though be careful not to add much ice, because that can make it get lumpy again.
