Smoothie Take Two

I knew exactly what I wanted for lunch before I was even home from the pool.  I desperately wanted to eat the rest of the leftovers from Pea Daddy's Jambalaya but I knew there wasn't much.  I would require something a little bit more.  I quickly formulated a plan for a smoothie out of the non-existent smoothie ingredients I had on hand.

Banana. Cucumber.

But you know, I love cucumber in my smoothie and I knew I could make it work.

I searched the pantry for something else to include and stumbled upon some swag I didn't realize I had.

I was also grateful when I realized the only non-dairy milk we had on hand was coconut milk.  I knew it would add some fun flavor to this mix.

This was my first taste of Silk's Pure Coconut and I was shocked by the coconutty flavor.  For some reason I thought it would be more mild.  It was good, don't get me wrong.  It is perfect for a smoothie.  I'm just not sure I would love it in my oatmeal or over my cereal every day.
