A tasty and filling coconut and strawberry smoothie with just 4 ingredients makes this also a fast smoothie – just what we need to get out the door in a hurry in the morning.
Full fat coconut milk that you get in a can is filling and full of flavor. Homemade coconut milk is lower in calories about 56 calories per cup as far as I can work out. It is far superior to store-bought that usually has unwanted additives. (See the recipe at the end of the post.)
Including coconut as part of your healthy eating weight loss program can help you lose weight.
The smoothie recipe is from Lisa Wells at CookEatPaleo who says …
[This] smoothie is sweet and creamy with no dairy or added sugar.
