Coco pine smoothie

Coco pine smoothie

It never occurred to me till the other day to put pineapple in a smoothie.

But I came up with this tropical sounding pina-colada style concoction. And it was delicious!

Coco Pine smoothie ingredients

Ingredients:

1 pineapple
2 bananas
1 C coconut flakes (soaked overnight)
6 to 8 pitted dates (soaked overnight)
1 + 1/2 C almond milk
1/2 C oats
1 heaped T protein powder (see note below)
1 heaped T baobab powder
1 heaped T lucuma powder
1/2 t vanilla extract
a few drops stevia liquid to taste

Peel pineapple and bananas.
Put all ingredients in the high speed blender and whizz till smooth.

Makes about 2 x 500 ml glasses as in the picture.

Enjoy!

Note on protein powder:

We use either hemp or pea protein powder.
There are vegan protein powders which are a mix of all sorts.
Just remember, whey protein is of course NOT vegan.
