The Yoshi (Super Mario series #4)

The Yoshi

     If you don't love Yoshi... Then you're wrong. Yoshi is a little dinasour who steals the heart of all. When thinking of a Yoshi smoothie, I decided to go for a tart tropical green smoothie that I think captured his character really well!

     The smoothie has (again) some unconventional ingredients, but they add something really nice to the overall drink. This one does have a slight vegetable taste, but I think it works well with the other flavours. 😊

Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients:

1/3 of a medium cucumber 

2 cups of kale or spinach 

1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple 

1/2 cup coconut water 

1/2 of a ripe or frozen banana

Juice of 1 lime

Dash of ginger 

1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

1. Blend the greens and cucumber with coconut water until there are no more chunks. 

2. Add the pineapple, banana, lime juice, and ginger and blend until smooth. 

3. Add the poppy seeds and blend quickly to combine. 

The fruit makes this smoothie sweet, and the lime juice makes it a bit sour, and the overall effect is really nice!

This is an extremely refreshing smoothie that's packed with nutrients, and it's a perfect way to start off your morning!

I think Yoshi would be proud. :)
