Pina “Greena” Colada Smoothie

1 can full-fat coconut milk
2 cups pineapple juice (or crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks)
1 banana (sliced and then frozen is ideal, but not necessary)
1/2 cup shredded coconut/coconut flakes
several ice cubes
handful of baby spinach leaves (about 1/2 cup, packed)

Blend first five ingredients together until smooth. … add your last ingredient—a handful of baby spinach leaves—to your blender/Vitamix/Blendtec container. Blend a bit more on high until spinach is incorporated.
