I recently had the opportunity to sample Cocozia’s new 16.9 ounce package of coconut water.  I often use coconut water in my breakfast smoothies and the larger size is perfect for making two portions.  Coconut water is always great for hydration, helps digestion, lowers blood pressure and is rich with nutrients.  This purple haze smoothie is sweet and full of wonderful goodness to start your day off right.

1 cup mixed berries
2 cups pineapple
11 oz Cocozia coconut water
1 cup rice milk
2 tablespoons protein powder
1 tablespoon flax seed oil

Put all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.  Add more coconut water if necessary.

Serves 2

I love to start my day with this drink!
