Pineapple, grapefruit and spinach are packed with water and minerals, which can help hydrate you and supply your body with a bounty of fiber too. Electrolyte-rich coconut water is a refreshing dairy-free substitute for yogurt or milk. If you have time, freeze the coconut water into cubes for an extra-frosty smoothie.

  • 1 cup frozen diced pineapple

  • 1 cup packed baby spinach

  • 1 small grapefruit, peeled and segmented, plus any juice squeezed from the membranes
