Orange and coconut sounds like a holiday, and this glass delivers just that. Coconut milk rounds off the acidity of the juice, while a small amount of spinach disappears into the background.
5½ oz
orange juice from about 2 oranges
15 g
baby spinach
5 oz
canned coconut milk unsweetened drinking coconut milk
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and mellow, with bright orange up front and a round coconut finish.
Coconut milk gives this smoothie a soft, creamy texture without any dairy. Use a drinking coconut milk from a carton here; canned coconut milk is much richer and would make the drink heavy. The baby spinach adds a little green goodness but hardly changes the taste, since the orange dominates.
The smoothie is mild enough for people new to green smoothies and works well at breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Hardly. With this small amount the orange and coconut clearly dominate.
Yes, as long as you use plant based coconut milk, which it naturally is.
Yes, but dilute it with water, as it is far richer than the drinking kind.
