- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 large banana sliced
- 1 large handful fresh spinach
- ½ cup frozen mango
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender and process until completely smooth. If it's too thick, add a little more coconut water. Alternatively, if the smoothie is too thin, add a few more pieces of frozen mango and pineapple. Serve immediately.
Serving and Storing - Serve your smoothies immediately! If you have leftover smoothie, freeze it in popsicle molds for a healthy midday snack.
Recipe Tips
- Make sure your fruit is completely frozen to ensure the right ice cream-like consistency. To freeze the bananas, peel and chop ripe bananas into 1″ pieces. Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet. When frozen all the way through transfer the banana pieces to a ziplock bag. Return to the freezer and store for up to three months. When ready to use, just toss them in your blender with the rest of your smoothie ingredients.
- Blend your ingredients until they are completely smooth. If your smoothie is too thick, add additional coconut water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until you have a pourable consistency.
