Creamy Pink Smoothie (Strawberries, Pear, Hempseeds and Sprouted Cereal)
I was craving something light but slightly sweet & creamy and this smoothie fit the bill. Looks like a strawberry milkshake, but there's no dairy in it!
1-1/2 C. fresh strawberries
1 pear
1 C. Lydia's Organics Sprouted Cinnamon Cereal
1/4 C. hempseeds
1 T. cold-pressed coconut oil
good dash himmy salt (Himalayan Crystal Salt)
2 C. quality water
2 C. ice
Put everything into the blender, including the ice, and blend til smooth.

Green Chocomacananner Smoothie
Greens go great with raw chocolate. I prefer spinach because of its neutral flavor. In this case, I used some lovely kale I'd just picked up, but that has a much stronger flavor.
4 C. quality water
2 bananas
handful greens (approx 1. C)
1/4 C. hempseeds
2 T. raw cocoa powder
1 T. maca powder
1 T. raw honey
1 T. coconut oil
1/4 t. himmy salt (Himalayan Crystal Salt)
1/4 vanilla (optional)
2 C. ice
Blend & drink.

Chocomacaverde
Who woulda thought... greens and raw chocolate are a match made in heaven! Especially with spinach...
Here is the basic chocomacaverde that I prepare pretty regularly. The proportions below do not make a sweet drink -- it's mellow-sweet. Make your own adjustments according to taste and the contents of your pantry!
One note: If you add 1-2 bananas to this, you'll have a Chocomacanannerverde!
1/2 blender (about 3 C.) of spinach or baby romaine
2-3 C. spring water
2-3 T. ground raw cacao nibs
1-2 T. raw carob powder
1-2 T. ground maca root
1/8-1/4 C. hemp seeds or pine nuts
2 tsp. agave (or 1-2 bananas)
a few good dashes of Himalayan salt
Blend everything together and slurp ecstatically!

Spring-Green Sunshine Smoothie
This smoothie is the prettiest shade of fluorescent, full-of-life-and-light spring-green I've seen yet in a live smoothie! And the turmeric, which has a unique flavor, harmonized beautifully with the pineapple.
1/2 peeled Pineapple, cut in large chunks
2 handfuls Spinach (1-2 cups)
a few dashes of Himalayan crystal salt
1-2 T. virgin coconut oil
1 t. turmeric
water to fill blender
