Many mornings lately:

1-2 kiwi
1 banana
spinach
lettuce
1/3 cucumber
coconut milk or orange juice

Solved a problem

I haven't liked using strawberries in green smoothies because it turns them brown. Even if they taste good, it has been hard to stomach drinking something brown. Here's my solution for a bright pink smoothie:

1 beet*
1 banana
6-8 strawberries
1/2 bunch romaine
water

*since I'm working with a food processor, I microwaved my beet for 30 seconds and plunked it in ice water before blending.

smoothie for one this morning: (K. went to work early)

large handful of spinach and lettuce
several slices cucumber
a bit of leftover pineapple
a frozen banana
coconut milk*

*coconut milk is divine. K and I went out for Thai the other night and ended our meal with an amazing, amazing dessert-- sticky rice with coconut milk and mango. I think this has started a coconut milk resurgence in my life.
