Fruit and Coconut Water Smoothie

Fruit Smoothie

It’s officially spring and I’m feeling the urge to lighten up, especially after a weekend of epic Easter eating.  It’s time to bust out the blender and get my shake on.

My go-to version is mixed berry and mango, but just about anything you like would probably work too.   To give my fruit smoothies an extra boost, I use Blue Monkey 100% natural coconut water which doesn’t have any added sugar or preservatives.  Coconut water has natural electrolytes and other good stuff.   Learn more about the benefits of coconut water here.   Perfect as a snack or a breakfast on the go.   Happy Spring!

Fruit and Coconut Water Smoothie (serves 2)

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1 mango, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup Blue Monkey Coconut water

Combine frozen berries, mango, and coconut water in a blender and blend.  Add more coconut water if too thick.  Pour and serve.

White Grape Juice Cocktail

white grape juice cocktail

A refreshing summer drink made with half white grape juice, half club soda, and fresh mint on ice.  I call it the ‘Macedonian Mama’ after my friend Jo’s sister who told me to try it, and to try it with vodka.  Thanks Angelene.  You were right, it IS better with vodka.

Happy weekend.
