Smoothie Variations And Recipe Notes
The best thing about homemade smoothies, even if following a recipe, is that you can always tweak it.
Adding your own twist even to my own recipes is what I recommend that you do!
Below are some suggestions that I have tried that work well with this smoothie if you want to try them:
- No Banana: If bananas aren’t your thing, you can substitute them for another fruit, such as pineapple, or berries, or simply use extra watermelon.
- Boost With Greens: I have tested adding spinach and kale to the recipe, which adds extra nutrients, but the color of the smoothie changes significantly.
- Increase The Sweetness: The smoothie is purely sweetened from the fruit. If you like your smoothies sweeter, a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup does the job wonderfully.
- Swap The Smoothie Base: If you cannot find coconut water, or simply dislike coconut, use almond or soy milk instead.
Blender
I have tested this smoothie with 2 blenders only:
- My Nutribullet 600.
- My AMzChef Blender.
Both blenders work great with the recipe. If you own a different blender, I cannot say for certain whether the recipe will work with it.
