I like to prepare some smoothie for breakfast. I noticed i had bananas, oranges, coconut cream powder etc. in the house so i put them all together in the blender. I looked at what food item to add that will assist the body to get the nutrition it needs – so i took some spinach from the fridge. The spinach has a lot of nutrition and it tastes neutral so i put a little bit in, I put 1 banana but added another one because i needed the smoothie to last the whole day so that will increase the amount of smoothie i will get. I saw a small orange in the fruit basket, so after removing the peel i looked if there were seeds that can ruin the blender, i saw none so i put it in. It’s not so sour, so it can blend with the different tastes of the rest of the fruits. I had coconut cream powder so i used it. The fruits only had little water so i added water and ice. Then i blended all the ingredients in a high speed blender.
I came up with this smoothie:
INGREDIENTS:
1 small orange peeled without seeds, 1/2 c spinach. 2 bananas, 3 Tbsp coconut powder, 1 Tbsp maple syrup, 6 deglet dates cut into pieces, 1 c water, 1 c ice

Sounds delicious. I have not yet found the coconut cream powder here in Sweden. Will have to see if there is a Thai shop somewhere. Thanks June!
Anna it can be found in Asian stores like big Chinese stores. Here in the US we have a Chinatown – where there are many Chinese stores. The brand is Chao Thai. The picture you can find in my food page here http://juneroca.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/rawcoconutcream.jpg
