4 cups greens: baby lettuce, spring mix, chard, spinach etc. only greens, not veggies

1 – 2 apples, cored and sliced
4 good sized bananas
1 cup frozen peaches or mango chunks
½ cup water or organic apple juice

Put ingredients in blender in order listed. Add more water or juice if needed. Blend to a smooth yet thick consistency.

For a delicious change, any frozen berries can be used instead of the peaches or mangos.

When I am trying to use CCC in a smoothie I add it to hot water 1st, then it mixes up really well. Though be careful not to add much ice, because that can make it get lumpy again.

If the coconut cream concentrate is really hard, try putting the whole jar, or just the amount you want to use (in a container, of course) in warm water and let it sit until it’s nice and soft. Then it should blend easily. :)

Holy Schmoly!  Does this make only ONE smoothie?   ‘Cause with all that fruit, it seems like it should feed an army.  I purchased the concentrate but haven’t had any luck getting it to blend. I will try this and see how it goes.
