Berry-Coconut-Smoothie
In the paleo diet, coconut milk is not only used for cooking or baking, it also makes for a wonderful creamy dairy-alternative for smoothies! So it comes with no surprise, that coconut milk or alternatively coconut yogurt is one of the main ingredients for this smoothie.
If you combine blueberries and red currants with some coconut yogurt/coconut milk, lemon juice, honey - or maple syrup for the vegan version, fresh mint and a bit of sesame and mix everything very well, you'll get a super dreamy and refreshing Berry-Coconut-Smoothie! You won't be disappointed, believe me! 🙂
