I love coconut. And I was so glad to learn how good it is for you. Throw in some figs and greens and you have one super smoothie.
This tasty recipe comes from Hillary at NutritionNutOnTheRun. It’s filling and nutritious and it has coconut milk as a main ingredient.
Figs are also good for you and Hillary tells us how nutritious they are …
Figs are a rich source of magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron and are high in fiber.
As usual when we give a recipe with coconut milk, you have a choice of full fat or light, canned milk, or homemade or store-bought. We’ve included Hillary’s original recipe which serves one, plus one we’ve slightly adjusted which serves three.
