Coconut Bliss

Thanks to BP FitPro Julie I’ve discovered the bliss of fresh baby coconut! Many of you may have read the recent “media blitz” about the benefits of coconut water (especially post-workout). The health benefits of coconuts have long-time been know (think about the life-expectancy of many of the cultures who have coconut as a central part of their diets!). Coconut oil, the flesh and coconut milk all have fantastic health properties too long to go into here. But this was definitely a delicious get-read-for-summer shake!(p.s. your kids will love this too)

Water from a baby coconut (you can find these at many vegetable stores or asian/latino markets)

Flesh from the coconut

[If you don't have a coconut on hand, you can use low- or no-sugar coconut water or coconut milk - most now found at many major stores]

Frozen raspberries

Frozen mango

Scoop of Plantfusion protein

A little almond milk and/or plain water for consistency.

Put an umbrella in it and start the day the right way!
