Yum’s Tips

• Blend the greens first. Blending the spinach with the coconut water before adding the fruit creates a smoother texture and helps eliminate leafy pieces.
• Chill the fruit ahead of time for an extra refreshing smoothie without needing as much ice.
• Add fresh mint or a small piece of ginger for an extra burst of fresh flavor.
• Enjoy the smoothie soon after blending for the freshest taste and texture.

Variations

• Swap spinach for kale for a richer green color.
• Use frozen pineapple for an even creamier texture.
• Add sliced cucumber for extra freshness.
• Mix in a few blueberries for a different fruit combination.

How to Store Green Goddess Breakfast Smoothie
