My 6 year old is craving fats lately so I made this for her as a smoothie. I made too much (it was too heavy for me), and poured the rest into popsicle makers. She ate one for breakfast.
1 cup Dried Coconut shredded
1 cup Fresh pineapple
1 teaspoon maca, optional
1 teaspoon lucuma powder, optional
1 cup nut mylk, optional
1 tablespoon coconut oil/butter
Blend the shredded coconut, nut mylk if using (otherwise you can use water), and coconut oil/butter for a while until a ‘butter’ forms. Then add the pineapple and more water for desired consistency. If you are using the maca and lucuma, add those in the end too.
This sounds delicious for the hot days coming up. In the recipe box it goes!
I gotta get me some coconut!!!
sounds appetizing! thank you!
I would say yes, mango would substitute but perhaps with less coconut. Because mango can be stringy, I would blend it really well. I am curious why you don't pineapple, and root veggies for that matter (I learned from another thread). I like learning about why people eat what they eat.
Yes redhouse I love this, I am tryin to get as much MACA into my wife as possible, during her so call MOMMY TIME you know the PMS stage. I wonder if I could trade out the pineapple for mangoe. We don't eat pineapple. What do you think, maybe add a lil agave to kick the sweetness up a notch.
