CALIFORNIA DREAMIN': DAY 18 RECIPE

Inspired by Jennifer's return to Los Angeles for the holidays, where it's currently 70 degrees, here is a great recipe to share some of the sunshine with you Washingtonians.

Ingredients:

1 mango, skin removed, cut into cubes

1 cup diced pineapple

5 strawberries, stems removed

2 handfuls of spinach

Half a cucumber, cut into cubes

1 cup of coconut water

Directions:

Combine all ingredients into a blender (I use a Vitamix for the ultimate smooth texture) and puree for 1-2 minutes. Substitute coconut water for any liquid of your choice: water, almond milk, green tea, anything!

Serves 2 people or 32 oz.
