makes approx 1 1/2 liters of green smoothie
3-4 swiss chard leaves
1 baby thai coconut, meat & water
2 bananas
1/2 papaya, peeled & mostly seeded

Chop fruits & veggies & place in blender. Open the baby thai coconut--watch this video to see 1 way of doing it--and place coconut water & meat in blender. Add a little water & blend until smooth & creamy. Drink up! 
NOTE: you can eat Papaya seeds--they are a little peppery in taste, so I only add a few to my smoothie.
NOTE: You may have to blend this in 2-3 stages to fit everything in.
