Coconut, Peanut and Acai Smoothie | Coconut, peanut and açaí smoothie

This smoothie recipe includes several of my favorite ingredients: coconut water, açaí and cocoa. All these ingredients are naturally super nutritious for our body, they have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents that help us maintain the health of our cells and our (immunological) defense system.

Coconut water as the base liquid for smoothies can be a good strategy for fruit flavors to prevail. In addition, coconut water is rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium and phosphorus. These nutrients are essential for the proper functioning of the body in several ways. After the practice of physical activity, coconut water helps in the replacement of mineral salts lost in sweat and recovery of muscle glycogen (our energy stores inside the muscle).

I really like the açaí flavor mixed with other fruits and ingredients and I have a açaí guide Here, if you want to know more!
