Today's lovely Thickalicious Exotic Tropical Green Smoothie is fragrant, sweet, delicious and packed with a ton of nutritional benefits. The mango, pineapple, and banana are all fruits with endorsed health recognition, as well as the delightful flavour that you expect from yummy tropical fruits. I use organic frozen fruit from Costco. A half-cup of pineapple from a huge bag goes a long way and makes smoothies for two adults in our house, so don't be freaked out the initial output of $$. Believe me, buying organic is worth it if you don't have access to local unsprayed products (many organic growers choose not to pay the rather exorbitant cost of registering their operations, but will advertise as 'unsprayed', etc. If you shop at the 'farmgate' or a farmer's market, you can ask all about how they grow their fruits and veggies).

METHOD:
Layer the following in your blender:
- 1/2 C. organic Rolled Oats
- 1 T. Chia Seed (ground with Cardamom in a Coffee Bean Grinder)
- 5-6 organic Green Cardamom pods (ground with Chia in a Coffee Bean Grinder)
- 1 tsp. Turmeric
- 1 C. Coconut Shreds (organic, unsweetened preferred)
- 1/2 C. Frozen Organic Mango
- 1 organic Banana, ripe, chunked
- 1/2 C. Frozen Pineapple
- 1-2 Handfuls of Tender Green (what makes it a Green Smoothie)
- 2-? C. of Filtered Water
- small packet of Sweet Leaf Stevia or other sweetener of choice (optional)
