This smoothie is best served fresh, but you can store any leftover smoothie in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Simply give it a good stir before drinking if any separation occurs.
To make it a quick grab-and-go option, prepare all the ingredients in a freezer bag (except the liquid) and freeze them. In the morning, just add coconut water and blend!
For an added nutrient boost, try topping your smoothie with a few extra chia seeds or flax seeds.
Variations:
For a Creamier Texture: Swap the coconut water with almond milk or oat milk for a richer, creamier base.
Add Protein: To turn this smoothie into a meal replacement, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or Greek yogurt.
Increase the Greens: If you love a more nutrient-dense green smoothie, add kale or wheatgrass to the mix.
Spicy Twist: For an extra kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper, which can further boost metabolism and blood circulation.
