The Perfect Pre-Workout Coconut Green Smoothie {Vegan, Gluten-Free, Paleo}
Yum! You will loooove this energizing Coconut Green Smoothie that is the perfect pre-workout drink. Suitable for Vegan, Gluten-Free and Paleo diets.
Being a food blogger involves a lot of cooking, eating and sitting working away in front of the computer. What it does not seem to involve for me is much heart rate increasing exercise.
I want to change this and make more effort with some good old fashion exercise. I am saying this publicly in the hope that this will help me combat those ‘feeling a little bit too lazy to workout’ moments that I sometimes have.
Step one – I have downloaded a few exercise apps onto my phone.
Step two – I have come up with the perfect pre- work out green smoothie recipe filled with good nutrients to help me supercharge me for my workout.
Step three – Drink said smoothie (or even a Green Smoothie Bowl) 30 mins before my workout and exercise away.
Anyone want to join me?
This pre work out coconut green smoothie is a glass full of goodness being packed full nutrients, superfoods and antioxidants. It also uses pantry staples like bananas, spinach, coconut water and summer blueberries which make it a great go to all round or summer smoothie. Are you sold yet?
Here is the perfect pre-workout coconut green smoothie – who knows it might inspire you too.

I made this in my Froothie Optimum 9200 blender which is one of the best blenders for green smoothies and I am chuffed to be an ambassador. All opinions are my own.
I do more juicing than I do making smoothies but i do enjoy a smoothie now and then just to change things up. I am always looking for new recipes that can provide some of the same effects that drinking fresh juiced fruits and vegetables has and this recipe gets dang close. It sounds very delicious and healthy so I will definitely be giving this recipe a try.
I love smoothies and the coconut will definitely help with hydration – a tbsp of coconut oil would be a great addition too!

This looks like a healthy smoothie indeed! Pinned and shared!
Thank you Joanne.
This reminds me of Helen’s post workout green smoothie. I don’t care if it’s for before or after a workout, I just love my green smoothies. Nice combo! Tweeted, stumbled and pinned!
Thanks Jacqueline.
Just seeing the word workout, makes my body tremble with foreboding, but I’d very happily polish off your green smoothie. I’m sure it would set me up for the day, whether that was going for a long walk or sitting in front of the computer. That Froothie blender is one powerful beast.
I’m with you! I really need to move more. And this smoothie is soooo gorgeous.
I am exactly the same. Too much time spent sat on my bum!! Smoothie looks delicious! Love coconut water in a smoothie!
