Anti Inflammatory Strawberry Passion Fruit Green Smoothie

This anti-inflammatory smoothie draws its bright tropical flavor from frozen passion fruit pieces available in the frozen fruit section of well-stocked supermarkets or natural-foods stores. To make this with fresh passion fruit, you’ll need 4 medium-size ripe purple passion fruits. Cut the fruits in half crosswise, gently scoop out the jelly-coated seeds, place in a blender (discarding shells) and puree until smooth. Freeze the puree in an ice cube tray before blending into the smoothie. If you can’t find passion fruit at all, substitute frozen pineapple.

Ingredients

2 cups packed baby spinach
1 cup hulled fresh strawberries
1/3 cup frozen unsweetened seedless passion fruit (about 15 pieces; such as pitaya foods)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
1 tablespoon salted roasted pistachios or pistachio butter

Directions

Place spinach, strawberries, passion fruit, coconut milk, hemp seeds and pistachios (or pistachio butter) in a blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
