Other Important Considerations for Nutrition: This smoothie is a good source of Vitamin C, manganese, and dietary fiber.

Consider adding a scoop of Paleo-friendly protein powder for an extra protein boost.

FAQ

  • Can I use different frozen fruits?

    Yes, feel free to substitute other Paleo-friendly frozen fruits like berries, peaches, or spinach (for a green smoothie!).
  • Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

    Smoothies are best consumed immediately for optimal texture and flavor. However, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and store them in a freezer bag. Then, simply blend when you're ready to enjoy.
