Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes

- •If you want an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll swap coconut water for almond milk for a creamier texture.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I add a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without changing the flavor.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Just remember, the flavors will intensify, so a little shake before drinking is key!
