Notes
- Choose ripe, soft fruits for maximum sweetness and smooth texture in your smoothie.
- Swap coconut milk with almond milk or oat milk for different dietary preferences or flavor variations.
- Freeze spinach and fruits beforehand to create a thicker, more chilled smoothie without diluting flavor with ice.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to boost protein content and make the smoothie more filling for post-workout nutrition.
