Spring is the time of year many people want to take control of their health. People think they should increase their fruits and vegetables but don’t really know HOW the heck they are going to eat anymore.

Need get up and go? All you need is spinach, grapes and coconut water!

Smoothies are the perfect answer to your busy eat and run life. This smoothie is only three ingredients all of which you can keep on hand. We need 2 ½ cups of veggies and 2 cups of fruit a day and this smoothie would count as half your servings. Gotta love that! Everyone that I have served it to was not quite sure of the “vivid green color” but everyone has enjoyed it, including my daughter Danielle and her fiancé Dave.

  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 cup frozen grapes
  • 1 cup coconut water**

Combine all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. Makes one serving.

**Chere Note:  I keep a few bottles of Vita Coco Coconut Water in the fridge when I need a refreshing pick me up. At only 45 – 60 calories per serving, it is packed with electrolytes like potassium, calcium, magnesium and Vitamin C. The best is Vita Coco Coconut Water is never made from concentrate so all the nutrition is from the juice of young coconuts. Gotta love that!
