Smoothies can be made in a flash and are easy to digest. You can use fresh or frozen fruit. I don’t like my smoothies freezing cold and neither does the stomach since cold hampers its job of digestion. So if I am using frozen fruit it put it in first and then I add hot or warm water and let it sit for a bit before adding the rest of the ingredients.

I just LOVE this!
¼ pineapple, chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
1 avocado
1 T red onion or scallion, chopped
Handful of cilantro
Juice of ½ lime (or more if it’s not particularly juicy)
¼ t sea salt
½ chili (optional)
Put it all in the blender, push the button and you’re done.
If you want it a little chunky, you can reserve half of the pineapple to throw in at the end and pulse a few times.
Just beautiful.

6-8 macadamia nuts
2 dates, pitted
½ cup papaya
½ cup pineapple
½ cup mango

If you are using any frozen fruit, put that in the blender first, along with the dried coconut. Cover with warm or hot water and let sit for a few minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend.
Here’s my favorite morning smoothie. Since the stomach does not like to be chilled, and I don’t either especially when it’s chilly out, I add hot water to make a room-temp or cool smoothie.
About 1/2 cup each blueberries, mango, pineapple – fresh or frozen
1-2 cups boiling water
1 T unsweetened dried coconut
1-2 leaves of kale
1/2 cup of rice milk, hemp milk, almond milk
1 T almond butter or 8 macadamia nuts
A spoonful of powdered greens
Put all the frozen fruit in first, add coconut and then hot water. Let sit for a bit. Put in fresh ingredients and blend. Add more water if necessary.
