No real coconut taste and pretty low in calories. Same with unsweetened almond milk. We either use that, or orange juice, or we'll just use yogurt and a splash of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-preferred-liquid-for-smoothies#post-1586327 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:08:52 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1586327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Kale is def a bit more...grassy? When I use kiwi and banana is masks it though. I don't love spinach and banana because it comes out almost too creamy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-preferred-liquid-for-smoothies#post-1586303 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:04:09 +0000 Ra 1586303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: Do you notice a difference in flavor between spinach and kale?

I do a juicy fruit (like kiwi or berries) to get that extra liquid with my spinach or kale. I also always use a banana which I feel gives it that creamy texture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-preferred-liquid-for-smoothies#post-1586146 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:29:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 1586146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do almond milk, I like creamy smoothies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-preferred-liquid-for-smoothies#post-1586142 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:28:32 +0000 mfa_lady 1586142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut milk is my favorite.

I used to use OJ but it has a lot of sugar in it, so now I just use a whole orange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-preferred-liquid-for-smoothies#post-1586082 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:08:32 +0000 Greentea 1586082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me I use soymilk (12 grams of protein!)</p> <p>For lo I make hemp milk (just hemp seeds and water in blender then strain!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-preferred-liquid-for-smoothies#post-1586080 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:07:45 +0000 JerricaBenton 1586080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut milk or coconut water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-preferred-liquid-for-smoothies#post-1586071 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:05:35 +0000 regberadaisy 1586071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Typically some kind of milk.

The transition from cow's milk to that was really simple. As long as you get the unsweetened version it shouldn't be too strong. </p>
