Though it tastes like those iconic vanilla-and-orange popsicles, this creamsicle breakfast smoothie recipe is a balanced breakfast with carbohydrates, protein and, thanks to the addition of coconut water, essential electrolytes. Coconut water serves up more than 10 percent of your daily dose of potassium�an electrolyte you lose through sweat�in every cup, making it a great hydrator for light workouts. Plus, this creamy orange-mango smoothie only contains about 30 mg of sodium per cup, whereas sports drinks usually deliver about 110 mg of sodium per cup.
1 cup cold pure coconut water, without added sugar or flavor (see Tip)
1 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
1 cup frozen or fresh mango chunks
3 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
2 cups ice
Blend coconut water, yogurt, mango, orange juice concentrate and ice in a blender until smooth.
Tip: Look for pure coconut water without added sugar in the refrigerated section near other flavored waters or near shelf-stable waters and natural fruit juices.
