Tropical Winter Smoothie (AIP, Paleo)

So it is still Winter…I mean spring is coming in some parts of the world but it’s not here yet where I am. Not even a little bit. If I am being realistic I know that we can get snow up until the end of April so I still have two months or so until I am free of Winter.

I know that I can get into a rut or a downer mood around this time of year. So I thought I would try to lift that mood and create a new smoothie recipe that feels a little like Spring/Summer without being too Tropical. That’s why I call this my Tropical Winter Smoothie. So you can enjoy this smoothie in the Winter or Spring and feel like Summer is only a few weeks away.

Smoothies tend to be a personal preference for most people so feel free to swap out the spinach and frozen fruit with your favorites.

I don’t have any advice other than hang in there, sip on this smoothie and Winter will be over before we know it!
