⏱Liquid fuel that digests faster than solid food. The simple sugars from mango, banana, and honey are absorbed quickly, and coconut water provides natural electrolytes without added fiber or fat.

Instructions

Add the coconut water and orange juice to a blender as the liquid base.

Add the frozen mango chunks, banana, honey, and sea salt. If using the optional instant oats or rice cereal for extra carbs, add them now.

Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut water and blend briefly.

Pour into glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and nutrient availability.
