SERVES 2-4. HANDS-ON TIME 10 MIN
“The energy-giving fruit and hydrating coconut water in this juice drink will make you feel ready to get up and go. I make this most Monday mornings. If you’re feeling tired, throw a banana into the blender, too, to provide you with a long-lasting energy boost.”
FOOD TEAM’S TIP It’s easy to increase the quantities here to serve a crowd.
