If you or someone you love is sick right now, do them a huge flavour favour and share this recipe with them ♥ It will really help and it tastes yumaroo!
Having a cold and being sick totally sucks! To tell you the truth, I haven’t been sick in over a year now since going through my detox. Even though Caleb and I have travelled a ton, been on planes with sick people and circulating air for hours, we even sat on greyhound bus for a few hours with someone hacking up a storm next to us, we just don’t catch that stuff anymore.
So, if you’re sick right now and you want to get better fast. Here’s a green smoothie that will kick that cold to the curb and help you cut your sick days down to 0 if you make green smoothies part of your daily routine.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Fresh Pineapple
- 1 Frozen Ripe Bananas
- 1 Cup Coconut Milk (you may need a bit more if you want a thinner consistency)
- 2 Tbsp Shredded Coconut
- 1 Cup Kale
Instructions: Put all ingredients in the Vitamix with the frozen bananas at the top, pour the liquid in and blend on high for about 30 seconds or less and serve.

Will frozen pineapple work? Fresh pineapple in the winter months is hella expensive in the Midwest.
Hey Rae
It certainly will, we sometimes even chop and freeze our pineapple at home. When we’re in Canada we buy a lot of frozen fruit as well because it does get super expensive. We paid like $12 for a Papaya in Vancouver in the winter time lol.
Very delicious! Thx for sharing!
