Greena Coladas

I decided to try and do green smoothies more this year. They're so easy, delicious and the kids love them. Usually I toss in spinach or kale, berries, kefir, water, banana, 1/4 whole lemon and that is tasty. But today Oatmeal begged for a green smoothie that was actually green (10 year old boys like stuff like that), so we made greena coladas today:

In the blend tec blender put:

1 whole orange
1/3 c. coconut powder (or coconut; won't be as smooth)
1 banana
1/2 to 3/4C fresh pineapple
2-3 c spinach
1/2-1 c. shredded zucchini (Threw it in because I have lots of frozen zucchini)
2-3 c. water
1-2 C. kefir (optional of course)
a TBS or 2 of Agave, to taste if you add the kefir

Measurements are approximate, just be sure not to overfill the blender!

Blend. Makes a pleasing green color with a delicious taste.
