Berry Ripe Smoothie

1. For the creamiest texture, chop the zucchini and freeze it overnight.
2. Add all ingredients to a blender, beginning with ½ cup of coconut milk.
3. Blend until smooth, gradually adding more coconut milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
4. For a smoothie bowl, use less milk to create a thicker consistency and add your favourite toppings.

If you are in a pinch and the craving cannot wait, use fresh zucchini and add a large handful of ice instead. If you experience bloating or digestive discomfort, try lightly steaming and cooling the zucchini before freezing it.
