Spring and Smoothies – the perfect combo, fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables with the lightness to support our spring metabolism.
In this smoothie, I have used coconut water. The coconut water brings a sweetness to the smoothie, so you dont need to add in dates, honey ect. It also provides you with hydration to get you through the day. When Choosing a coconut water that is right for you, ALWAYS turn the tetrapack over and check the ingredients – it should say one thing “100% coconut water” no sugar, numbers, additives or preservatives – just pure coconut water. Better yet, if you are able to find the fresh coconuts, crack on open and enjoy the flesh as well!
