Coconut Water Smoothie
I love coconut water, me. So when I saw that the lovely Jackie from Beautify used it in a smoothie, I decided I wanted in on the action so decided to make my own.
I love the idea of using coconut water, I usually put milk in a smoothie but this just seems a lot healthier. Coconut water has so many health benefits such as:
- Helps aid weight loss.
- Helps cure hangovers.
- Helps clear your skin.
- It’s hydrating.
- Lowers blood pressure.
I could go on, but those are the key ones!
I particularly like the idea of having coconut water after a workout to rehydrate you, so why not prepare this before you hit the gym or go for a run, leave it in the fridge and enjoy it when you come back?
I simply blended some red grapes and strawberries together, added some coconut water and poured it into these adorable glass jar mugs. How bloggy are these mugs, right?
What would you put in your coconut water smoothie?

I’ve never tried coconut water actually. I’m not a big fan of coconuts tbh. I also believe that things taste extra nice when they are in extra fancy dishes and such, so maybe this would taste all right 🙂

I REALLY need to try coconut water! I’ve always kinda avoided it because I had this crazy idea that it had some sort of laxative effect?? Please tell me I’m wrong!!
