There’s nothing more disappointing than drinking a bland, watery smoothie first thing in the morning. But if you’re vegan or avoiding dairy products, creamy add-ins like milk or yogurt are not welcomed in your beverage. Instead, use coconut milk to thicken your smoothie. It’s rich, luscious and much more flavorful than cow’s milk. In this recipe, greens and hemp protein powder are combined with coconut milk and spicy splash of cayenne for a thick, velvety beverage that’s only disappointing once it’s all gone.
