Easy Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

This easy strawberry coconut smoothie is balanced, simple, and delicious. It has protein, healthy fats, and even some veggies! While it doesn't look very pretty, it tastes like a sweet treat.

I love making smoothies. They're a great way to sneak in some healthy foods without really tasting them if you have picky eaters. My kids love smoothies and I feel good about them because I know exactly what's in them. Usually when you buy them when you are out and about, they have extra sugars and other ingredients that aren't necessarily healthy or beneficial.

My favorite things to add into smoothies are protein powder. I use and love Just Ingredients Vanilla Bean in most of my smoothies. Another way to add some extra protein is to add some greek yogurt in. I add in coconut milk or avocado for a fat. I add in Chia seeds or flax seeds for fiber. You can sneak in tons of leafy green veggies without tasting them, too. Of course, I also love different fruits. My base is usually unsweetened almond milk.

Equipment

• Blender
• Measuring Spoons
• Measuring Cups
• Knife: You only need this if you use the tiny strawberries to top the smoothie
• Cutting Board: You only need this if you use the tiny strawberries to top the smoothie

Ingredients

• This recipe is 2 servings.
• 16 Oz Almond Milk, Unsweetened
• ⅓ Cup Coconut Milk, Canned
• 2 Cups Strawberries, see note, set aside a couple for chopping and adding to the top
• 1 Banana, Ripe
• 1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder, I like Just Ingredients Brand
• 1 Cup Spinach, more if you choose
• 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds, extra for topping
• Optional Toppings: extra strawberries, chia seeds, flax seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

• Gather all of your ingredients. Add your almond milk, coconut milk, and spinach. Blend until spinach is completely smooth. Next add in everything else and blend again. Chop up some extra tiny strawberries and add them to the top. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

• If you are using frozen strawberries, make sure you let them thaw or warm them up or they won't blend very well.
• You can add in other things like hemp hearts or flax seeds.
• The leafy greens can be swapped. You can use Kale instead of Spinach.
• Top with some more chia seeds or coconut flakes and tiny chopped strawberries.
• The milk can be swapped for your milk of choice.

Storage

• These are best when they are consumed right after blending. The flavor is still good if they sit, but the texture is not.
