I finally cracked open my 22 lb. bag of coconut and made a yummy, filling drink to curb my hunger tonight. It makes quite a bit, so I only had half. If you like coconut, you’ll love this! [NOTE: For Whole30, you are not supposed to “paleo-fy” desserts, baked goods, and other things that might set you off. I wasn’t really making it for that, so I’m letting it slide. But it’s something to keep in mind.]
Coconut Shake
1 can coconut milk (chilled)
1/2 c. coconut shreds
3 medjool dates
1/8 t. vanilla extract or powder
1 c. ice
Put ingredients in a Vitamix or blender and puree. It should be the consistency of a shake (or with a little more ice you can make it more like ice cream). YUM!
