Cool off with this Pink Lemonade Coconut Water Frosty. Rich in electrolytes, antioxidants - and low in calories - this is your go-to, light and lovely beverage as the weather warms up.
Perfect as an after-workout hydration beverage (bright pink - colored by berries - not chemicals like most "hydration" beverages.) Grab your blender and get ready to say "Ahhhhhh!" as you chug this frosty glass..
Change it up! You could easily add-in or swap fruit in this recipe. Blueberries, bananas, pineapple, mango, kiwi, melon and so many more. Use fresh or frozen fruit - frozen fruit will give you an icier beverage.
Use "unflavored" coconut water - and make sure it contains no added sugar! And if you can find fresh coconuts (those clunky big white things in the produce section at Whole Foods) - go for it. Fresh coconut water is AWESOME.

I'm confused as to why the ice and lemon are kept to a "minimal" to lower the calories. They don't really have any calories. LOL. But I'm still going to make it! Looks fantastic!

Oh this looks good!! Frozen fruit concoctions are my current favorite (frozen bananas, grapes, strawberries, etc). I will have to try this in the upcoming summer months 🙂

Definitely will be making this; maybe with frozen raspberries. I know my daughter will love this more than gatorade/ other vitamin waters!
