Ginger Colada Green Smoothie: A Piña Colada With A Gingery Kick

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (about 1 small knob, skin removed)
• 1/2 lemon or lime, juiced (1 tablespoon)
• 1/3 cup light coconut milk
• 1 1/2 cups chopped frozen pineapple
• 1 small ripe frozen banana, previously peeled, sliced and frozen
• 1 large handful spinach
• 1 small handful kale
• 2/3 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
• 3/4 cup filtered water (start with 3/4 cup, and add more to thin the mixture)
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
• 1 tablespoon raw hulled hemp seeds
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar (depending on sweetness of banana/pineapple)

1. Add all ingredients to blender in the order listed, and blend thoroughly on high speed until completely smooth. If it isn't quite blending, add a bit more water or almond milk. Let blend for a good 2 to 3 minutes on high so everything gets very well mixed together, especially the ginger.
2. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding a bit more frozen banana or sweetener of your choice for added sweetness; lime juice for acidity; or coconut milk for creaminess.
3. Serve immediately. Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though this smoothie tastes best served fresh.
