Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth, about 60 seconds. Enjoy immediately
Notes
Tips for the best blend: The coconut oil can stick to the side of your blender and become hard next to the cold ingredients. Add the water to the blender first, then the rest of the ingredients except the coconut oil. Add the coconut oil last, and place it right in the center of the rest of the ingredients so it doesn’t stick to the side of the blender. Start your blender on low and slowly work to high to ensure the coconut oil blends. Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed and blend again.
A handful of fresh spinach is also great to add and I do that often, you just won’t get the pretty pink color.
