Good morning, all! My name is Julie and I blog over at This Gal Cooks. I love to share semi-healthy and semi-sweet, mostly simple recipes that are perfect for any occasion. I love a good craft beer and can almost always be won over with a big ole plate of Mexican food or a huge scoop of peanut butter.

I’m so excited to be guest posting for Lyuba today while she’s off in busy busy land! I just love her drool-worthy recipes and her amazing space here in blog-land. I know how much Lyuba LOVES coconut so I wanted to make a tasty treat to share that utilized coconut. I’ve been on a smoothie kick lately so I was thinking hmm, how about a smoothie with coconut?

Typically I use almond or coconut milk in my smoothies. Dairy and I aren’t always the best of friends. But we won’t go into that fun stuff right now. Anywho, I knew I’d use some thick, rich coconut milk in this smoothie but I wanted to bump up the coconut flavor. I wanted this smoothie to scream from the rooftops “I’m full of coconut; drink me now you coconut lover!” So I grabbed some of my unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted it and used it in this smoothie.

You won’t find any refined sugar in this healthy smoothie. To sweeten things up a bit, I used the juice from some pineapples, along with a few pineapple chunks. If you’re into super sweet smoothies, I’d recommend adding a little honey to the mix. I prefer using frozen berries in my smoothies. It keeps things super cool, which is totally what you want on a blazing hot day. Plus, frozen berries are cheaper and they will ensure your smoothie turns out thick and smoothie-like. Cause it’s a smoothie so we want it to be smoothie-like, am I right? 🙂

This recipe will make approximately two 8oz smoothies, one for you and one for a friend. Or if you’re like me, two easy breakfasts for two days in a row. Enjoy!

      I’m kinda hooked on coconut now too, Gloria! I made a coconut cream pie yesterday but it was kinda a disaster. The pie wouldn’t set. It tastes so good though so I threw it in the freezer to see if it will work as a frozen pie instead. 🙂

        So, how’d that turn out with it being in the freezer? It sounds amazing… 🙂
