Green Grape & Fennel Re-Fresh Smoothie

 :Meaghan Eady: Green Grape & Fennel Re-Fresh Smoothie
High fives all around! You made it through blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year.
 
Now that that’s out of the way, can you feel more daylight and the sweet smell of the spring wind? Maybe not if you’re near the eastern seaboard or a mountain dweller, but out west coast-ward, the warmth and rain has buds opening and people sporting short shorts on the seawall.
 
It’s time to freshen up for February.
 
This blend is mega hydrating and super balanced with veggies, medicinal herbs, good plant-based fats (avocado, hemp, coconut milk) and a ton of antioxidants.
 
A base of heart-healthy grapes contains heaps of potassium and vitamins C & K.
 
Fennel, mint and lime together are alkalizing and stimulate digestion and absorption of nutrients.
 
Blend away, friends.
 
Ingredients
 
Go organic.
 
1 cup frozen green grapes
1 inch cube of fennel bulb
¼ of an avocado
3 fresh mint leaves
Juice of 1/4 lime (medium sized)
1 cup coconut milk beverage
1 Tbsp hemp hearts
Filtered water to create your desired consistency
 
Blend until smooth and devour. To make this extra green you could even add a handful of spinach without disrupting the taste texture of this gem.
