This mango coconut water smoothie is so simple yet such an equally refreshing glass of goodness. Fresh chunks of mango blitzed with cool coconut water and a hint of ginger.

Are you fedup of drinking your 8 glasses of water a day or maybe you're just looking to try a drink that's super hydrating with a difference?

Well look no further, as this smoothie should quench your thirst!

A fresh juicy mango combined with ginger and coconut water is probably the best drink ever. I know coconut water has an acquired taste but keep in mind I used to hate the taste as a child.

Meanwhile my mom and grandmother would drink the water straight from a young coconut. I grew to love coconut water as I got older and now I drink it almost daily.

This beverage isn't my usual smoothie like my Sweet Mango Banana and Pineapple Smoothie  which contains coconut milk. Instead, it's just a three ingredient drink - no plant based milk is included.

All you need are ripe mangoes, fresh coconut water and a thumb sized piece of ginger. All of these ingredients are highly nutritious and good for your overall well-being.
