I’ve seen the super fit crowd drinking coconut water a lot lately. Being the girl who is always ten steps behind every trend, I was curious. Unfortunately, I quickly found out that I do not like the taste of it alone at all. Unsure what to do with the several cartons I had purchased, I decided to try and make a smoothie using coconut water. I’m happy to report that the result was delicious.
Smoothies are filling and take a long time to drink, which is always a plus if you’re a person of many vices like me. There are also a zillion ways you can modify smoothies.
The INGREDIENTS:
2-4 ice cubes
1/2 frozen banana
2/3 c. total of frozen mango, pineapple, and strawberries
1 2/3 c. coconut water
1 tsp. honey (optional)
Modification: if you can tolerate dairy, I would definitely add 1/2 small container of Greek yogurt to this.
THE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS:
Put everything in the blender. BLEND until smooth. Adjust liquid for desired consistency.
Enjoy!
