I love young Thai coconuts! They are one of my favorite bases for a smoothie, and so healthy for you! If you are new to green smoothies, baby spinach has a very mild flavor. I offer two different versions for the recipe below.
Recipe:
1 fresh Thai young coconut* – water and coconut meat
1 ripe peeled mango* – remove the pit!
1/2 of a ripe avocado*
2 C baby spinach
Optional:
1 C frozen blueberries
1 Tbsp spirulina
Be sure once the coconut is open that the water and flesh are white. If it has a tint of purple it is beginning to turn and should be discarded. Pour coconut water into blender, scrape out the coconut meat with a spoon and add to the blender. Add the rest of the ingredients. If using spirulina, wait till the smoothie is blended to add the powder and then blend again
