Use frozen fruits instead of fresh ones for a super cold and thick smoothie.
If you want it sweeter, add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup.
For extra nutrition, toss in a handful of spinach or kale; you won’t even taste it!

Variation

You can swap out the fruits based on what you have. For example, try mango instead of papaya or add banana for creaminess. You can also use almond milk or regular milk instead of coconut water for a different flavor.
