Red Grape and Spinach Smoothie

A few years ago I was way into the Sonoma Diet with their 10 powerfoods.  Those still stick in my head and I try to eat grapes and spinach as often as possible!  Throw in some Strawberries and you have 3 powerfoods in one meal.  

Red Grape & Spinach Smoothie
- ¾ cup Coconut water
- ¾ cup Red Grapes (best if frozen)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup of spinach or any other leafy greens
- 1 small cucumber
- ½ cup of ice (optional)

Directions:
Wash all produce well
Chop cucumber and banana
Place in a blender or Vitamix
Blend
Pour over ice and Enjoy!

Neopolitan Ice Cream Shake

This has got to be my absolute FAVORITE Shakeology recipe of all time.  Neopolitan ice cream is my favorite flavor (yes, I know it is three flavors) and I can't have it anymore.  I don't miss it because of this!

1 cup filtered water
1 cup vanilla coconut milk
7-8 frozen strawberries

Blend in a high powered blender like a Vitamix (or let the strawberries thaw a little bit) and enjoy!
