This simple berry smoothie recipe is tart, refreshing and delicious. Feel free to mix up the fruit addition with a frozen berry blend, or substitute the coconut water with your favorite non-dairy milk (or even water, in a pinch!).

Tips for Success:
Other frozen berries or berry mixes will work just as well in this smoothie! If your bananas are not frozen, add a few ice cubes to reach the proper consistency.
I love using coconut water, because it contains electrolytes and is very hydrating; but you can easily substitute it with almond milk, any nut, or cow milk. The same goes for orange juice – feel free to substitute it with additional coconut water, almond milk, or cow milk.
