Some hot summer mornings just call for a thick, creamy shake paired with a fluffy breakfast cookie & big cup of coffee. Who is with me?
While strawberries are in season, you bet I stock up on them and find ways to use them in all of my favorite recipes. This recipe is my healthy take on everyone’s favorite summer milk shake.
Strawberries + coconut = this amazing, decadent and energizing drink. With only 5 nutritious ingredients, and less than 5 minutes, you can have this shake with your breakfast this morning!
Let’s make a strawberry coconut shake!
Coconut milk makes the perfect creamy and rich base for this shake. Strawberries give it a refreshing flavor and vibrant color. Banana keeps the smoothie extra thick. Lemon juice and honey make a tangy and sweet addition to put this smoothie over the top.
I can’t wait to hear what you all think of my strawberry coconut shake. It is:
Naturally sweetened
Vibrant
Decadent
Super creamy
Healthy
