Piña Colada Smoothie

Picture borrowed from http://draxe.com/recipe/pina-colada-smoothie/

Quite possibly the BEST smoothie I have ever had. 

Copied from Dr. Axe's website:

"Coconut is a medium chain fatty acid which is easily digested and converted to energy instead of being stored as fat. It is extremely diverse and one of the healthiest foods you could eat! Try this Piña Colada Smoothie Recipe and indulge in the benefits of coconut!"

Ingredients

• 10 oz. coconut milk (I used canned)
• 1-2 raw eggs
• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin coconut oil, melted
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 1 C fresh or frozen pineapple
• 1/2 banana
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 3 Tbsp ground chia seed
• (I added ice because my pineapple wasn't frozen!)

Directions

1. Combine the ingredients in a high-speed blender. 

Makes 2 servings.

Raw Cacao Smoothie

Idea copied from Paleoista... "Liquid Heaven" :)

Blend together: 

1 small ripe banana

1/2 avocado

2 T. Raw cacao (I bought a small bag of cacao nibs from Whole Foods)

1 raw egg*

Handful of spinach or kale

8 oz coconut water 

Few ice cubes 

*if you don't feel comfortable eating raw egg, drop it in boiling water for 6 mins for a safe soft boiled egg! Then place it in ice water for about 10 seconds for easy peeling!
