Greeña Colada Smoothie {AIP, Paleo, Dairy-Free}

This "green" spin on a tropical piña colada is high in healthy fats and protein, so it will stick with you for hours and support healthy blood sugar levels. Here's why it's important to get off the blood sugar rollercoaster. I also love the big dose of chlorophyll and fiber this smoothie provides. There's a huge fiber:weight management connection, and chlorophyll is the most important biological compound needed for plants to live and thrive. The collagen helps trigger the body’s natural collagen regeneration cycle, which declines as we age. Enjoy!
