[Recipe] Coconut Banana Blueberry Smoothie from 185 Calories

I like to vary my smoothies and use what I have on hand. So I took a recent recipe and added my own twist.

Yogurt and coconut water were my choice for liquids; maple syrup makes a nice change instead of honey. I love coconut and especially love that the body handles it differently to other fats, and that it’s beneficial to weight loss.

My recipe makes 2 large smoothies that are great if you like to replace a meal with a smoothie.

OR 4 ’normal’ ones to drink as snacks or with a light meal.

Want some greens? Then go ahead and add some. Most greens add very little in the calorie department.

Flexibility and choice!

Result? One really good smoothie!
