- 1 cup of chilled coconut water
- 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt

- For an added twist, replace coconut water with pineapple juice for a more tropical flavor.
- Serve in chilled glasses and top with passionfruit seeds for a bit of crunch.
- This smoothie is perfect for a family brunch or a healthy refreshment after a fun day in the sun.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before serving again.
- Use almond yogurt or other dairy-free yogurt alternatives for a vegan version.
- If passionfruit is not available, substitute with mango or pineapple for a different yet delightful flavor profile.
