OMG, that is SOOOOO good!!!!
So, I sat down to blog what I've eaten so far this morning (because I tend to forget if I don't write it down right away) then I took a sip of the smoothie I was going to write about and decided it needs an entire post in itself because it is SOOOOO good. Honestly...the best smoothie I've ever tasted. It's that good.
First, I'll write that I had my weekly weigh in today. Down 2.8 pounds! Go Katie! Then, I'll write that I had a triple, grande, iced, nonfat, upside down caramel machhiato this morning.
Now, for the smoothie. I made the kids smoothies for breakfast. The problem with making them smoothies is that they drink an entire blender full of smoothie. So, I don't get any of the batch I make them. The other problem with making them smoothies is that I would MUCH rather they have all of the goodness they can get out of a smoothie than me. So, that means the bulk of my ingredients go into their smoothies and if that means I'm left with almost nothing for my smoothie, that's okay, because my children's health is more important than my own to me. So, to make my kid's smoothies, I put one cup of coconut water and 3 tablespoons of bee pollen into the blender, then fill the blender the rest of the way with organic baby spinach. I blend that, then add the rest of the fruit. Today, that fruit was, mango, prickly pear, blueberries and cantelope. (How do you spell canteloupe? I don't feel like looking it up.) Unfortunately, I'm running low on frozen fruit and I have all of the current fresh fruit earmarked for school lunches coming up in the next week, and we're po' at the moment (not just poor, but po' lol) so I have to make due with what we have. Anyways, the kid's smoothies were pretty good. They all drank them and didn't complain, so I'm happy. lol
Then, I went to make mine. The problem...I used up all of the frozen fruit I had left in the kid's smoothies. Into the blender went 1 C. coconut water, 3 T. bee pollen (my kid's don't like the taste of bee pollen, so I don't put as much in their smoothies as I put in mine) and then I put one large handful (about half a blender worth, unpacked) of baby spinach. I was blending that and thinking that it didn't sound very appetizing. So, I grabbed the strawberries that I was going to have for breakfast (my daughter is allergic to strawberries, so I don't put any in the kid's smoothies and since one child is allergic to strawberries, the rest of the kids do their best to avoid strawberries so the one child doesn't feel like she's missing out...which means I get to hide strawberries in the fridge and keep them all for myself lol) I put six strawberries in the blender, hulls and all, then blended it up. I figured that probably wasn't going to be sweet enough, so I added 2 tsp. of lehua honey (very important...I don't like clover honey in my smoothies, which is what you get at most grocery stores because it has such a "honey" taste to it. Lehua honey is much more mild and delicious!) So, anyways...I blended that all up and OMG, it is HEAVENLY! I think I'll make myself some more for lunch instead of having the salad I was planning. Seriously, it's so SIMPLE, but maybe that's why it's so good. Usually, my smoothies are such a mish mash of, "Get everything in it I can so I can get my kids to eat/drink their daily servings of fruits and vegetables," that they're all just "blah." This one is just a few ingredients and is simply divine.
So, anyways, there you have it. My divinity smoothie. 
Here is the recipe so you don't have to go through the entire post to get the ingredients:
Divinity Smoothie
1/2 C. coconut water
3 T. bee pollen
2 unpacked C. baby spinach
