There is nothing like a creamy, cold smoothie on a summer day. It’s chilly and refreshing, but also very nourishing. Many folks who eat (drink? Can you “eat” a smoothie?) green smoothies make the mistake of adding vegetable after vegetable– but forgetting to add any saturated fat. As you know, digestive systems have a difficult time breaking down the fiber of raw green vegetables without the addition of a little bit of saturated fat to help the process along.
This smoothie delivers two types of saturated fat — one in the form of avocado and the other in the form of coconut oil (feel free to add coconut sugar, additionally, if you like a sweeter smoothie).
Use spinach or kale as your base of greens, keeping in mind that kale should be removed from its steps before incorporated.
Stay cool and enjoy!
