Notes

Using frozen mango and banana is important to reach a super creamy and rich consistency.
You will have better results if using a high-speed blender.
More add-on ideas: chia seeds, medjool dates, coconut yogurt, strawberries, hemp seeds, coconut milk, etc. Check out the blog post for more ideas!
You can make a smoothie bowl using this recipe: omit or use less of the coconut water and blender until slushy and thick. You will have to take a few breaks to scrape the walls of the blender + blend again and if you have a Vitamix, then use the tamper. Scoop in a bowl and garnish with your favorite topping ingredients, such as granola, seeds, fruit, etc.
