Summer, summer time! This smoothie definetly reminds me of that one thing I’m craving during those hot summer days! Luckily, I have a healthier option to choose now rather then those high sugar drinks!

This recipe is from the “Smoothie Project” by Catherine McCord.

So here’s what’s in it!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries

  • 1/4 cup coconut yogurt

  • 1/2 cup coconut water (1 cup if you like your smoothies thinner)

Combine all the ingredients into the blender. Start on a medium setting working your way up to a higher speed. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
