01 -

Itsends you straight to a tropical beach without leaving your kitchen
The creamy coconut milk masks any bitterness from the spinach, so you actually want to drink your greens

02 -

Frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice and gives you a thicker, more concentrated smoothie thatdoesn't water down as it sits
Coconut milk separates in the fridge, so give the carton or can a vigorous shake before measuring

03 -

Roll your leafy greens into a tight bundle before adding them to the blender so they blend more evenly
Add liquid first to the blender then leafy greens followed by heavier ingredients on top to prevent everything from getting stuck
