Instructions:

- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on the strength of your blender.

- Taste the smoothie, and if desired, add a little more lemon juice or a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup to suit your taste.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses.
- Garnish with a small slice of pineapple or a sprig of fennel fronds if desired.

Tips:
- Use cold coconut milk or add ice cubes to make the smoothie extra refreshing.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a little honey or agave syrup.
- To make the smoothie extra smooth, blend the flaxseed separately before adding the other ingredients.
- You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk for a different flavor profile.
