This refreshing Coconut Water, Mixed Berry, and Spinach Smoothie is all you need for the perfect afternoon pick me up!

Hi!  I’m Lolli from Better in Bulk and I’m so excited to be sharing this delicious summer berry smoothie here today!

I adore smoothies – what else can you eat for breakfast, dessert, and in the middle of the day as a cool pick-me-up snack? This refreshing gluten free, dairy free, egg free smoothie is a delicious choice any time of the day. I love to drink half the smoothie for breakfast and then freeze the rest to blend up at night for a no-guilt dessert.

My husband still hasn’t gotten used to adding greens to his smoothies, but spinach is my new favorite smoothie ingredient. That just means more smoothie for me!

When I make smoothies for myself, I rarely measure my ingredients, so it’s completely acceptable to add more or less to your taste.  I recommend freezing coconut water in an ice cube tray ahead of time. While it’s not necessary to freeze the coconut water before making this smoothie, it helps thicken the drink. Yum!

What are your favorite ingredients to put in smoothies?
