When shopping at Whole Foods the other day I found a couple "young coconuts" and decided I was going to cook them the way I did in July. As I was looking up some cooking tips and suggestions I found this amazing recipe. This is so good and will definitely be a go-to for a low(er) carb and not too bad for you drink that makes you feel oh-so-good. It will, as the recipe I read online said, 'knock your socks off'...
Ingredients:
one young coconut
5 dates (pitted!)
two tablespoons of almond butter
ice
1/4 cup water
How-to:
Put the coconut water and the coconut meat in the blender. The young coconuts' meat is really easy to spoon out (vs. an older coconut that is literally impossible)
Spoon in 2 tablespoons of almond butter
add 5 dates to the blender
add ice (I personally grab my ice from Sonic Drive-Thru, weird...I know - but AMAZING and one of the best kept secrets ever. It makes this shake frothy and SMOOOOTH!)
Blend blend blend.
Serve in a cute mason jar and garnish with a date or almond because it's all about presentation
Make one and you'll be thanking me later. One coconut (this recipe) will make three mason jars filled. If you put 1 or 2 away for later it will still be frothy the next day - or at least with the Sonic ice it will. Oh yeaaa!
