Emerald Coast Green Smoothie

This green smoothie recipe was inspired by one of our most favorite places ever, Destin, Florida. Destin is along what’s called the Emerald Coast, and is a very special place to us.When we were dating, we would take day trips from Tallahassee and go beach bum while the kids were at school, and be back before they knew we were gone. There are really no words to describe the beauty of Destin. The waters are truly emerald and the sand almost looks like snow it is so white. It is such a tranquil place. I can’t wait to go back. Maybe if I drink enough of these smoothies and do a plank or two, I can wear a two piece when we go!

Emerald Coast Green Smoothie
Makes 2 8oz. Smoothies

2c. So Delicious Coconut Milk Frozen Yogurt (Vanilla Bean)
2c. Frozen or Fresh Mango, cubed
2c. Spinach
Half of an Avocado
Juice of 1 small Lime This smoothie is the bomb for several reasons, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
• Coconut Frozen Yogurt is soy free, and also dairy free making this smoothie a great vegan choice.
• Mangoes are a great source of vitamins A and C, and also have been found to have properties that prevent cancer.
• Spinach is rich in folate, iron, antioxidants, and vitamins and minerals that contribute to anti-aging and great skin.
• Avocados are high in fiber, they lower cholesterol, and have more potassium than a banana.
• Limes are great source of vitamin C. They also have been found to prevent food borne illnesses and aid in weight management and healthy skin.
Side note: Do you remember those cute straws I told you I scored at Target for one dollar?! ——> BAM!! I like my smoothies with the consistency of milkshakes, don’t judge me. You can always use 2 cups of coconut milk, or coconut Greek yogurt, with a handful of ice to replace the frozen yogurt.

Have you ever been to Destin?
