 STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE

Description

Great recipe for kids and adults alike. Full of iron and potassium!
  
 INGREDIENTS
Serves 2

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 1/2 cup coconut meat
  • 1 cup of ice cubes (optional)

Methods/steps

  1. 1)Place all ingredients a blender and puree well. Add more water if needed.
  2. If you can\'t find fresh coconut water, just use purified water instead

Additional Tips

Adding coconut meat makes the smoothie really creamy. And far healthier than adding milk, soy, or yoghurt. It's a perfect alternative for people with milk, soy or dairy allergies, because this smoothie is dairy free. By adding coconut water you give your body instant nerve power as the young coconut contains natural electrolytes and essential minerals; for an alkalizing smoothie.
