This smoothie tastes amazing! I love this recipe because it is very simple to make and doesn't require a lot of ingredients like some other green smoothie recipes I've seen.
I searched my local supermarket for coconut water, but they only have coconut milk. So I put in one T. of coconut milk instead.
This morning I made this smoothie and added one frozen banana and 1 T. of ground flax seed. It was just as delicious and sweet as the junk I used to get from the Dairy Queen Drive thru!
Coconut water is the liquid from young coconuts. I am with Whole Foods Market and we sell several different brands. It is not the same as coconut milk. Many people are now drinking coconut water as a sports drink because it is high in potassium and minerals, very low in calories and sugar.
This was my first attempt at a green smoothie. I don't think my mango was ripe enough so I added a little agave. I liked it, but some of my co-workers were scared! LOL. I think a bit of pineapple would have tasted yummy too. I'll be making more of these!
Thanks for this delicious green smoothie idea!! Love it
I use the coconut water from whole foods. It's three containers for $4!!

where do you get coconut water? Is this coconut milk?
this is a fine example of what a green smoothie should be- simple, delicious, well-combined, and green :)
