Groovy Green Smoothie Challenge – This week: Coconut!

Just to recap, last week I asked you to come up with a Green Smoothie recipe with Coconut.  Candida diet friendly non the less.

In other words, without sugar, dairy or tropical fruit.

Not an easy task. Hence I was super thrilled when one of my readers allowed me to share her wonderful green smoothie recipe below:

It tastes like key lime pie. Refreshing and nourishing. But it’s also filling.

It wouldn’t be hard to have one of these as a meal replacement once a day. You can easily add some ground buckwheat or flax to get a better full feeling.

 Featured Reader Recipe:

I had never thought of adding buckwheat – I think that’s a marvelous idea.

Apart from making it more filling it also adds a lovely nutty flavour to the drink.

And we’ve got another great Green Smoothie submission: Sandi shared a very berry smoothie recipe with us, which I have yet to try — Sounds lovely!

Thanks so much for participating both

NOTE FOR CANDIDA SUFFERERS:

Please leave out the Agave Nectar in this smoothie, and during stage 2 and 3 also the apple because of the fruit sugar — instead try adding a couple of drops of Vanilla stevia. You might need to add a little more of the veggies and coconut milk to make up for the bulk and juice of the apple). Scroll down the page to find a green smoothie that is more suited for the beginning stages of the Candida diet.

And it’s never too late to share your own coconut smoothie with us! Get involved

Here’s my latest Green Smoothie with Coconut Milk: The Cucumber Cooler

Very simple to make, yet refreshing and creamy!

I don’t mind the light cucumber flavor, but if you don’t like it, just replace it with a celery stalk. Strangely enough that’s less noticeable.
