Instructions
Make It Now:
1. Start by adding 1 cup coconut water to a high-powered blender. Then, add all the other ingredients.
2. Blend until smooth. You may need to stop and stir/shake the blender or add up to 1/2 cup more of coconut water, as needed, to make sure it gets smooth.
Make Freezer Smoothie Packs for Later:
1. Layer ingredients in small freezer bags in this order:
- 1 1/2 cups frozen tropical fruit blend (any combo of pineapple, mango, papaya)
- 1 packed cup baby spinach
- 1/4 cup raw cashews (sub: raw almonds or macadamia nuts)
2. Seal tightly, squeezing out the air, and freeze for up to 3 months.
3. To Blend: Pour 1 cup coconut water into a high-powered blender first. Break up the ingredients in the bag by hitting it on the counter or crunching it with your hands. Dump the ingredients from the bag in and follow blending instructions above.
Notes/Tips
- Check out all 7 smoothie packs and download a recipe cheat sheet and shopping list.
- If you’d like to add in more protein, feel free to add in a sugar-free, unflavored protein powder or collagen powder. I like Vital Protein Collagen Peptides. You may need to add a little more liquid.
