The title sounds just a little bit absurd, right? I promise it makes more sense than it sounds. After a bit of a rough weekend with a little too much food and drink I decided I really needed to take it easy this week. So, that means back to the Smoothie drawing board. 

Tonight’s dinner? This delicious, guilt-free Orange Green Smoothie.  

If I used the long form name it would be something like this Orange Banana Spinach Coconut Almond Milk Chia Smoothie but since I think the orange and spinach are the stars they get top billing.
I appreciate straight-forward smoothies and tend to shy away from anything too exoctic. Yes I live in a big city but it can be very difficult to find certain ingredients without having to hit up multiple stories to pull a full recipe together.  This smoothie fits the bill – it is quick and simple to make and leverages ingredients that you will find at any grocery store. 

So if you need a healthy snack or you’ve been really bad like me, give this one a try.

Ingredients

• 1 orange
• 2 handfuls of spinach
• 1 cup coconut almond milk, or any milk
• 1 banana, frozen, peeled and chopped
• 1 tsp of chia seeds

Instructions

1. Peel the orange and place all ingredients in the blender.
2. Blend until you have fully broken down the spinach and frozen banana. If your blender isn't as powerful as a Vitamix or Blendtec then you may want to try blending the spinach and milk first and then add the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour and enjoy.
