Notes
- Always add the liquid first before the solids. So, in this case, add coconut water before the fruits. This will make it easier for your blender without straining it. Especially if you are not using a high-powered one.
- Use frozen fruit for more flavor. I used frozen mangoes and strawberries, so that I didn't need to add ice, which will water down the smoothie. However, if you do not have time to freeze them, you can just add ice cubes and reduce the coconut water when blending.
- The riper the fruits are the better! Ripe fruits are sweeter and softer, which are perfect for making smoothies.
- Add nutrient boosts. Add more nutritious ingredients to your smoothie like vegan yogurt, chia seeds, greens, spices, and herbs (how to store fresh herbs to last).
- Add yummy toppings for texture. Top it with nuts, coconut flakes, dried fruits, berries, or grounded flax seeds before serving to take it to the next level!
