Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and combined. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage & Yield
  • Store: This drink does not store well because it starts to separate and the color starts to degrade after 30 to 60 minutes. It's best made fresh just before serving.
  • Yield: The recipe as written makes 1 large glass or 2 smaller servings. The nutrition was calculated for 1 large smoothie. The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to make enough for a larger group.
