Tropical Smoothie
This easy, healthy green smoothie only requires 4 simple ingredients. A delicious low-calorie way to pack Vitamin C, fiber, and protein into your diet. Freezer smoothie pack instructions included.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 100% pure coconut water
- 1 1/2 cups frozen tropical fruit blend (any combo of pineapple, mango, papaya)
- 1 cup baby spinach, packed (preferably organic)
- 1/4 cup raw cashews (sub: raw almonds or macadamia nuts)
- Optional: 1-2 scoops unsweetened protein powder (I like Vital Proteins brand.)
Instructions
- Start by adding 1 cup coconut water to a high-powered blender. Then, add all the other ingredients.
- 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.
Freezer Instructions
Make Freezer Smoothie Packs for Later: Layer these ingredients in small freezer bags in the following order and then seal tightly, squeezing out the air, and freeze for up to 3 months.
- 1 1/2 cups frozen tropical fruit blend (any combo of pineapple, mango, papaya)
- 1 cup baby spinach (preferably organic)
- 1/4 cup raw cashews (sub: raw almonds or macadamia nuts)
- Optional: 1-2 scoops protein powder
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.
