Even Though You're Begging For A Unicorn Frappe, Your Meal Plan Is Crying For A Mermaid Smoothie

Starbucks has clearly shown us they can make any frappuccino imaginable to mankind. It is mind blowing someone can make a unicorn creation look so magical, or how a beverage can taste sweet and salty at the same time. (a.k.a. the pretzel-meets-popcorn beverage.) But these options aren't always the healthiest for us.

What if I told you there is something that looks as pretty as a unicorn frappe and tastes as good as the pretzel-meets-popcorn beverage with the bonus of it being healthy? I know cray right; it's almost too good to be true. But it is true! The mermaid smoothie improves weight loss, is muscle building, and improves digestion.

This fantasy beverage was created by Jessica Rosen. A certified holistic health coach and president of the Raw Generation. Seems pretty legit. The reason why the beverage is so good for you is because of the active ingredients it has. Dragon fruit is packed with antioxidants along with B Vitamins and Vitamin C which help break down carbs faster, mango is filled with enzymes that help improve digestion, coconut oil is packed with medium chain fatty acids that help prevent heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and alzheimer - but is also super helpful for weight loss and muscle building, the maple syrup adds sweetness without getting too crazy in sugar or artificial sweeteners.

This is by far the easiest smoothie you'll probably ever make. All you have to do is add the ingredients into your blender or food processor and fall in love!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dragon fruit

1/2 cup mango

1 banana

1/2 cup water

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 tbsp maple syrup
