Blueberry Wake-Up Call Smoothie

This morning I woke up to realize I was out of kale – no green breakfast smoothie for me! Instead, I went with what I had in the kitchen and made an absolutely ridiculous blueberry smoothie (in my Vita-Mix) that was creamy, sweet and totally zingy. “Zingy” meaning it woke me up. You’ll see why in a second.

Blueberry Wake-Up Call Smoothie:

• 1 banana
• 1/3 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/3 cup Coconut Bliss Cappuccino ice cream (there’s the kicker!)
• 1 small spoonful of almond butter
• Coconut water (amount varies depending on desired consistency)
• A few ice cubes
• Extra nutritional points for a sprinkle of chia seeds & drizzle of flax oil (optional)

The excitement I have over this smoothie is probably due to the fact that there’s coffee (organic, fair trade coffee!) in the coconut ice cream, and I very rarely, if ever, drink coffee…hence the wake-up call. Wowzers!

If you don’t have Coconut Bliss ice cream on hand (which is, by the way, organic, dairy free, soy free, sugar free, and full of happiness), you could always pour a little bit of coffee into the smoothie + some extra ice or almond milk/coconut milk.

Best thing about this smoothie is that it really can be a meal. The almond butter & banana will keep you full for awhile!

AMAZING.

I love smoothies!
