Green Drink

I. Love. This. Drink.
It's tangy, lightly sweet, refreshing and could be served on the rocks with sparkling water and/or your favorite spirit. I will often 'eat' this for breakfast. Yes, it's lower glycemic for a juice. And yes, it's packed with fiber. However, there's enough sugar in the fruit and coconut water to cause an insulin spike if you don't eat it with protein and/or fat on the side. My solution? I often drink this with Jilly Tea for breakfast to get a full dose of MCT fats, 20 grams of collagen protein, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals to energize and kick start my day like a boss. An extremely healthy, boss.
