Tropical Pre-Workout Smoothie
Servings: 1
This light tropical pre-workout smoothie blends pineapple, peach and half a banana with coconut water and spinach, so you can sip it right before you move. A spoonful of coconut oil adds a little richness, and it is ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup coconut water
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup pineapple frozen
- ½ cup peach frozen
- ½ banana
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, unrefined
Instructions
- Pour the coconut water and water into a blender and add the spinach. Blend until smooth.
- Add the pineapple, peaches, banana and coconut oil and blend again until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Prep freezer smoothie packs so you can blend this quickly before a workout.
- Blender Tip: If your coconut oil is solid, melt it first and add it with the liquid and spinach, before the frozen fruit, so it doesn't harden into bits.
- Protein Boost: Blend in a serving of plant-based protein powder.
- Lower Sugar: Swap the 1/2 banana for 1/4 avocado for a less sweet, creamier smoothie.
