Notes

This smoothie recipe is best when blended really well. The oats and coconut will add a texture unless they are blended at a high speed for the final step. If you need more liquid for a smoother blend, add an extra splash of juice! 
Optional: Try adding a pinch of turmeric or cayenne for a kick!
