Lush! A strawberry and coconut lover's
dream. Imagine you're on a beach on a balmy summer's afternoon.
Coconut Dream
- 2 handfuls (about 7 to
8 medium-large) strawberries, hulled
1 medium banana, peeled
2 tablespoons coconut milk
4 ice cubes
- Juice the strawberries.
Transfer to a blender with the banana, coconut milk and ice.
Blend thoroughly.
- Serve topped with freshly
shaved coconut if desired.
Makes 1 serving.
Food Factoids:
- Strawberries supply the
super-nutrient, ellagic acid, and vitamin C. Both coat the lining
of the lungs and fight free radicals.
- For an even healthier
alternative, 2 tablespoons of silken tofu can be substituted
for the coconut milk.
