Happy Friday! It’s going to be a warm weekend here in Orlando and I’m looking forward to it. When it gets hot outside our family loves to cool off by swimming in the pool and I enjoy making up a batch or two of this Grapes & Greens Smoothie! I made this recipe a while back for the runDisney blog, and it’s been a family favorite ever since. Cheers to a warm weekend in the sun!
Green Grape Smoothie
serves 2
1 cup frozen green grapes
1 frozen banana
¼ cup frozen pineapple
2 medjool dates, pitted
1 cup spinach
1 cup kale, stems removed
½ cup kefir
½ cup coconut water
½ to 1 cup ice
Place all ingredients, except ice into blender. Blend until greens are pureed; add ice to desired consistency. Serve immediately.
Note: If you’re not a fan of kefir, sub in milk or Greek yogurt. If you sub with yogurt, you may need some extra coconut water if it’s too thick to blend properly.
