Notes

Tips
  • Depending on the size of your lemon, you may need more or less coconut milk to get your desired consistency.
  • If you like thick smoothies, like me, start with the 1/2 cup of coconut milk first and go from there before adding the additional 2 tablespoons.
  • If you like really thick smoothies, be sure to use a blender tamper before adding more liquid as this will ensure it’s blended up well.
  • If you want a thinner smoothie, just add a little more coconut milk to get your desired consistency.
  • If you don’t have mango you can also use a banana in its place, it does not have to be frozen. Banana is a great thickener for smoothies.
  • If you want to add protein, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Though, I prefer using organic collagen for natural protein and no weird ingredients! Or you can also add hemp seeds which also have natural protein.
  • If you want to make this into a smoothie bowl with granola, you can also add in 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt into the smoothie for more volume. And try adding Honey Almond Coconut Granola on top!
  • High Altitude — Follow the recipe as noted.
