Clean Eating Coconut Milk Smoothie

Clean Eating Coconut Milk Smoothie Recipe

So the recipe from two days ago was for Coconut Whipped Cream (Yum!). But if you’ve tried the recipe, you know that you end up with 2 half cans of coconut milk left over. So what do you do with this milk?

No, you don’t pour it down the drain. Please don’t do that.

That wonderful white liquid is so healthy for you, and you won’t believe the flavor it can give a smoothie!

And since I’m on this “Green Smoothie” kick lately (yes, it DOES actually taste really, really yummy), I just had to make one with coconut milk.

Oh my. I must say it’s something close to heaven on earth. Y.U.M.

This recipe has been moved. Please find it here.

    Mmmm. That does look good. I haven’t gotten the coconut milk to whip yet so this will have to wait. Of course I could do it with silk or milk.

    =/ … sooo, you can’t taste the spinach? I mean I’d LOVE to start eating raw spinach, but MAN do I hate it. I’m ok with, say, cooked spinach in pasta or something, but raw spinach just isn’t my thing. I think I will trust you and give this a try though :)

    Catherine – If you are really worried, start with a smaller amount and build up to the 2 cups. I personally can’t taste it. But I don’t dislike it that much either. Most people I know say they cannot taste it. I guess it all comes down to your taste buds. Start with a cup and add a little each time you make it.

    YUM!! I added some frozen pineapple and blueberries to mine. Turned out yummy. Even my 4 year old liked it. A sneaky way to get him to eat spinach, love it!

    Denna – I get my little guy to eat spinach all the time this way. Works like a charm!

  • Maria

    made this for my kids today, added blueberries to it. They loved it!! I never would have thought to put them together. I put 2 handfuls of spinach in and they were none the wiser. Thanks!

    Maria – You’re welcome! I love a recipe that can sneak in an entire serving of veggies!

    I was standing in the kitchen thinking I need a snack and presto you tweeted this. I was skeptical but had the ingredients so I gave it a try. Yum!! I’m off to check what else is on the smoothie page. Thanks!!

    My son (4y) and I are enjoying a bit of time together while his sister is at art camp today. I wanted to use my coconut milk in a smoothie and did a search…I am SO GLAD that this came up! It’s a lot better tasting than I thought it was going to be AND it got the approval of my 4y old son! :) WOOHOO! Praise the Lord for good, clean eating recipes!

    Jess – Any kind of coconut milk will work so long as the only thing listed in the ingredients is coconut milk. Typically, I find that in a can. I have yet to find the carton variety that doesn’t have a bunch of garbage added to it.

    There are a ton of reliable web sites that have info on the benefits of coconut. Just google “benefits of coconut” and start reading. It really is pretty impressive!

    I made this and after adding another bananna it still just takes like spinach. The texture is very weird too. Me nor my 4 year old twins liked it. Not sure what I can do to salvage it….

    Cathy – Interesting. Did you use fresh spinach? You shouldn’t be able to taste it at all.
