Directions
In a blender or Vitamix, place all of the ingredients except for the ice. Press down to make sure it all fits.
Starting on low, begin to blend everything together, slowly raising the speed until you reach high. Once everything is barely blended, add in the ice. Blend on high again for 1-2 minutes.
Once smooth and fully blended, pour into 2 large glasses and drink immediately.
