TROPICAL PINEAPPLE GREEN SMOOTHIE ( 2 large or 4 small)

This smoothie is adapted from a smoothie I had at the amazing Zephyr cafe in Squamish, B.C.  I added hemp seeds, flax and chia for extra protein, vitamins and omega fats.  

Ingredients:
3/4 -1 cup fresh or fresh frozen pineapple
2 large oranges
1-2 cm slice of fresh ginger
1/4-1/3 c fresh parsley
1 1/2 - 2 cups packed fresh dark leafy greens (kale, spinach, chard)
1 heaping T hemp seeds
1 heaping T sprouted ground flax/chia seeds (or half a 1/2 of each)
water, unsweetened nut, soy or brown rice milk as needed for desired consistency



Directions
Put all the ingredients plus 1c liquid to your blender.  Blend on high for about a minute.  Add more liquid if needed.  If you use fresh instead of frozen pineapple add some ice cubes too.
