Metabolism Booster Smoothie

Ingredients

½ cup strong brewed green tea
¼ cup coconut milk
1 cup pineapple (frozen)
1 unripe banana (frozen in quarters)
1 large grapefruit (peeled, chopped, and frozen)
70 g spinach, frozen (you can use fresh, but the smoothie won't be as thick)
4-5 large ice cubes
10 g plain whey protein (or favorite protein powder)

Instructions

Add the liquids first, then the rest of the ingredients to a blender. Blend well, until the greens are well blended into your smoothie.
If you don't like your smoothies thick (I like mine super frozen and thick), add more liquid, or omit the ice.
The spinach I use comes frozen in ice-cube sized pieces. I use 7 frozen cubes.

Notes
I've found that my blender is able to make a thicker smoothie if I make 2 smoothies at a time. If you don't have someone around to share with, freeze 1! I keep my plastic cups from Starbucks, fill them up, and freeze, and then the next day I just defrost for about an hour and it's still very thick and sipable once I've stirred it well.

Oranges also work well in place of the pineapple.
