Coconut Water Smoothie
Servings: 1 smoothie
This coconut water smoothie is hydrating and refreshing. The citrus fruit helps to cut the bitterness in the kale and we boosted the sweetness with banana.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup kale
- 1 cup coconut water unsweetened
- ½ orange
- ½ cup pineapple
- ½ banana
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Place kale, orange and coconut water in blender. Puree until smooth.

Notes
- Remove the stems of the kale to help with the bitter taste. You can also use baby kale.

- Blend in the chia seeds or sprinkle on top for a crunchy texture.
- For a lower sugar smoothie, swap the banana with 1/4 of an avocado.
