Description
Delicious smoothie with bits of fruit and the fragrance of coconut.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Chia Seeds
- ½ cups Milk
- ½ cups Coconut Milk
- 1 cup Frozen Mixed Berries
- ½ cups Fresh Strawberries, Hulled And Cut Into Halves
- 1 cup Plain Yogurt (fat Free If Desired)
- 2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Coconut Slices Or Chips Slices For Garnish (optional)
Preparation
Stir chia seeds into milk and set aside for a couple of minutes.
Blend everything (except coconut slices) with the chia mixture until smooth, or desired consistency. Top with coconut slices.
Notes:
1. For smoothies, I use the unsweetened carton coconut milk, found in the refrigerated dairy section. The canned milk can be an option, but will have a stronger coconut-y flavor.
2. Want a smoother smoothie? No worries. Blend longer until silky, and totally free of fruit grit. Strain if desired.
3. Serve immediately or store refrigerated for up to 1–2 hours.
4. This makes 4 cups, or 3 generous servings. Need more? Double ingredients.
5. Coconut slices come frozen at Asian specialty groceries or you can buy the dried unsweetened coconut chips.
