Notes
You can always swap water for coconut water, coconut milk, almond milk or cashew milk. While coconut water comes with electrolytes that help maintain a healthy balance in your body, the others will also add plenty of healthy fats to your smoothie, making for a creamier drink.
Feel free to skip the coffee if you don’t take caffeine, it’ll work just fine without it.
One side note on the lemon: if you’re not using an organic lemon make sure to remove the skin before adding it into your smoothie. Most conventionally grown citrus fruits are sprayed with chemicals which remain in the lemon skin even after you wash it.
