Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups pure coconut water chilled, no added sugar
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks provides creaminess and vitamin C
- 1 medium banana preferably ripe with spots for sweetness
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach packed tightly for magnesium boost
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice approximately half a lime
- 0.125 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt essential for sodium replenishment
- 1 tsp raw honey optional, for additional glucose absorption
- 0.5 cup ice cubes omit if using all frozen fruit
Notes
For a protein boost, add 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt. This smoothie can be made 24 hours in advance if stored in an airtight mason jar; shake vigorously before drinking as natural separation will occur. If you don't have mango, frozen pineapple makes an excellent tropical substitute.
