Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes
There are numerous different ways you can customize this smoothie recipe.
While you can absolutely choose to customize it yourself, I would like to share some of my favorite variations I recently tried and loved!
Who knows, you might get inspired!
- No Banana: If you are not a banana fan, you can substitute the banana in the recipe for mango or pineapple. Just make sure they are frozen.
- Extra Thickness: Use frozen watermelon chunks instead of fresh ones for a thicker creamier smoothie. Do note that you may need to use a food processor rather than a blender to successfully blend.
- Creamier Effect: If you are not avoiding dairy, add 1/2 cup of thick yogurt for a creamier smoothie and higher protein.
- Nutty Delight: Incorporate a tablespoon of nut butter (I tested cashew butter) for a creamy nutty taste.
- Swap The Smoothie Base: If you don’t have coconut water, you can use vanilla almond milk, or even simply plain water.
Suitable Blenders:
| Blender Type | Suitability |
|---|---|
| Nutribullet 600 | ✓ |
| Vitamix Blender Propel 510 | ✓ |
| BlendJet 4000mAh | x |

If you own the 3 blenders marked as not suitable for this recipe, you can still make this smoothie.
You will just need to adjust the recipe slightly.
Instead of using only 1/3 cup of coconut water, use 1 cup. This allows the blenders to work through the ingredients better.
However, this means the smoothie won’t come out as thick.
