For the coconut water, you may substitute water, coconut milk, almond milk pineapple juice, mango juice and/or orange juice.
To make a "detox smoothie," add a 1-inch piece of peeled, fresh ginger root.
Feel free to add your favorite protein powder or collagen powder for an extra boost of protein.
You may use fresh fruit and fresh greens, though you may wish to add some ice to the blender to chill the smoothie.
To thicken the smoothie, add another banana, chia seeds, tofu or a heaping spoonful of Greek yogurt.
If the smoothie is too sweet, add more greens. If not sweet enough, add honey, agave nectar or maple syrup.
