Notes

*Spinach and kale are the best greens for smoothies. Frozen or fresh both work.
**Regular water can be used instead, but you will be missing out on some of the health benefits of coconut water.
Tips:
  • I highly recommend using frozen fruit for your smoothie because it creates the perfect thick and icy consistency. It's just not quite the same with fresh fruits.
  • To make a green smoothie bowl, reduce the coconut water to ½ cup and top with your desired toppings (fresh pineapple, banana, coconut, and chia seeds are great options).
Storage: While this smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
