Ingredients:
1 large ripe banana (previously peeled, cut, and frozen)
1 cup frozen wild blueberries (organic if possible)
1 large celery stem
2/3 cup sliced zucchini (fresh or frozen)
1 handful of greens (spinach is ideal; organic if possible)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup light coconut milk (or substitute with storebought coconut milk or water)
1/2 teaspoon maca powder (optional; for mood and hormone balance)
Instructions:
1. Blend Ingredients:
Add all the ingredients into a highspeed blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
2. Taste and Adjust:
Taste the smoothie and adjust the flavor if needed. Add more cinnamon for warmth, banana for sweetness, or zucchini for extra creaminess.
3. Serve:
Pour the smoothie into 2 serving glasses (or adjust servings based on batch size). Garnish with extra blueberries and hemp seeds if desired.
