I've been reading about the benefits of coconut here! It's an older post from one of my favorite blogs, but really interesting. It inspired my smoothie this morning!
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. ground flaxseed
1 tbsp. chia seeds
1 tbsp. shredded coconut
1 scoop sunwarrior protein powder
1 cup vanilla almond milk
1 tbsp. coconut oil
1/2 banana
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
It's thick and really tasty! Perfect after my three mile run this morning (first run back out there after my race - took a nice 1.5 weeks off). Jax ran the first half with me - smile on his face the whole time.
I'm in serious need of a shower so off I go!
Have a great Wednesday :)
Do you love coconut? What's your favorite recipe to include it in?
YUM! Love coconut. I'm far too lazy to make shakes in the morning (read: I like to sleep as late as physically possible)but the ones you post always look so good!
ReplyDeletehaha thanks Kelly! It is really good in case you ever give it a try :)
DeleteThis shake sounds delicious, and ridiculously refreshing!!
ReplyDeleteCoconut oil is amaaaaazing!!
ReplyDeleteI don't use it much but I need to find more recipes that include it!
DeleteI love coconut but I've never thought about putting it into a shake before (and I'm a shake lover too so that works :)). Coconut product don't seem to be available in The Netherlands though so I'll have to wait until I return to Canada to try this out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and I hope you get to give it a try! :)
DeleteMy ultimate breakfast is oatmeal with a tbsp of peanut butter mixed in. It melts and makes the oatmeal extra creamy. I also love to add banana to oats!
