Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Cream (full-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
  • to taste Liquid Stevia (or other low-carb sweetener)
  • optional Ice Cubes

Preparation

Gather all the ingredients. Ensure the coconut cream is cold for the best texture. If you don't have canned coconut cream, you can refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight and use the thick cream that separates at the top.

Blending the Smoothie

Place the coconut cream, coconut flakes, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and almond milk into a blender.

Add liquid stevia (or your preferred low-carb sweetener) to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.

If you prefer a colder and thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes.

Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. You can also refrigerate it for about 30 minutes for a thicker texture.

Other Important Considerations for Nutrition

Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your preference. Consider adding a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the coconut. If you are sensitive to coconut, use a smaller amount of coconut cream or substitute it with another source of healthy fats like avocado or nut butter. Remember that this smoothie is high in fat, so adjust your overall fat intake accordingly throughout the day. Choose high-quality, unsweetened coconut products for the healthiest option.

FAQ

  • Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream?

    While you can use coconut milk, the smoothie will be less creamy. For a richer texture, it's recommended to use coconut cream.
  • Can I add protein powder to this smoothie?

    Yes, you can add a scoop of low-carb protein powder to increase the protein content of the smoothie. Adjust the liquid accordingly if needed.
  • How long can I store this smoothie?

    It's best to consume the smoothie immediately. If you must store it, keep it in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours as the chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid and the texture may change.
