Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or another low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
Instructions
Start by chilling the coconut milk and water in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for a colder smoothie.
In a blender, combine the chilled coconut milk, shredded coconut, and cold water.
Add ice cubes to the blender to achieve a thicker, frosty texture.
Introduce the stevia or your preferred low-carb sweetener to the blender. Adjust the quantity to taste if necessary.
Pour in the vanilla extract and sprinkle in the chia seeds.
Squeeze the fresh lime juice into the blender for a refreshing citrus zing.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Check the smoothie’s consistency. If it is too thick, you can add more water and blend again.
Once blended to your satisfaction, pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste experience.
