Purple Smoothie Recipe

This is our purple smoothie we always do about 3 times a week - the kids love it, we love it and it's just chock full of good things!  You will need a high-powered blender such as Vita-Mix to make it super smooth.  You might need to change a few things up to your taste - it seems to taste a bit different everytime I make it because I never measure the ingredients, and raw food tastes a bit different each time.  This makes 2 tall glasses and 2 small glasses of smoothie.  If this makes too much for your family, pour the other parts you don't eat into freezie pops! 

1/3-1/2 can of full-fat coconut milk
About a cup or more of water depending on how thick you want it
1 to 2 leaves of kale or 2-3 cups spinach
1 ripe banana
1 large apple
1/2 of a 12 oz. bag of frozen strawberries
1/2 of a 12 oz. bag of frozen blueberries
2-3 TB of flax seeds

Blend on high for at least 30 - 45 seconds to blend the flax seeds.  ENJOY!
