Nice without feeling too grassy & omitted the avocado only because I didn't have it.

What would be a good alternative to coconut water for this smoothie please?

I used 1/3 part 100% pineapple juice and plain water for the other 2/3 and added coconut flakes as well. It was quite good, made it with only coconut water after and the price/taste difference was not really worth it imo.
