It Isn't Easy Being Green

Everything green smoothie.  I needed inspiration today, couldn't think of a good smoothie. I looked in the fridge and pulled out everything green.

It Isn't Easy Being Green
1 Banana (okay, so not green!)
1 Cup coconut water
1 6oz container key lime yogurt
handful fresh spinach
2 peeled kiwis
1 cup diced honeydew melon
juice of 1/2 a lime
1 tsp barley grass powder
2 T hemp seed
1T ground flax seed
1T wheat germ
1 T honey

Very good. Can taste the hint of lime. Everytime I use kiwi, I feel a bit of tingle in my mouth. I think the blended seeds produce that effect. I don't get that feeling when I eat the kiwi whole. Anyone else?
