Lemon Berry Smoothie - sorry, no pictures yet.

OK, so I've made it again and am now modifying the recipe. I think I may have just died and entered heaven! :D

1 1/2 C water (today I used almond/Brazil nut milk instead)
2 C blueberries (I used frozen)
3 small lemons, juiced (plus 1/4 of a whole lemon, seeded)
3 T raw coconut, or coconut powder
2 T honey or agave nectar (I used honey)
3 dates (pitted - soaked or unsoaked) optional

Put it all in a Vita Mix or high-powered blender and let it rip! "WOW," is all I can say. I drank the whole thing for breakfast. Talk about some fiber!! :eek:

Sounds wonderful for hot summer days...

[Carmella]

Sounds divine! Thanks for sharing!

[lavendarJ]

this does sound like a delicious summer drink....I'm putting it on my June list of smoothie drinks. Thanks:)

I'm not sure what it is about the lemon and the blueberry combo - but it is just such a perfect fit. And the coconut on top of that smoothes out all the wrinkles in between. Hmmmmmmm..........

Oh good! I have so many wrinkles in between that I need smoothin' out. I'm gonna try this. The coconut will just sit on my hair spikes, so that'll work! Thanks Anna!!! :p

Where do you get coconut powder??? Would this be like dried coconut flakes ran through my coffee grinder, but not turned into a butter??? I really want to try more coconut recipes, but I am almost tempted to buy jarred coconut creme or something in place of the young coconut meat because every young coconut I've opened is bad:( What would be a good substitute?? Thanks...Anna, your recipes are ...well...there's no word. I love everything of yours that I've tried. I'm making some chocolate chewies and some cinnamon macaroons to take camping in a few weeks. One question about those...what "tip" is a good sizeand kind to use to make the cookies pretty like the ones in your picture?? I'm off to the store tomorrow, and Walmart has a Wilton section. I used to decorate cakes and have some tips, but don't think I have the right size for the cookies. I'm alittle rusty in remembering all the tips, but I'm slowly pulling them out, looking for what I can use for all my raw goodies... Thanks...again.

Alissa's site (store) has yum-oh coconut powder.

I received my coconut powder as a sample that came with an order I placed. I must say, it does some in handy. I've used it in soups and smoothies and desserts too. The package says "Ultimate Raw Foods - organic coconut cream powder." Hope this helps. It's really good stuff.

As far as a tip goes, you would know more than I. I just used this simple wilton piping tip - the really big one that has a type of star burst on the bottom. I just hold the tip just above the teflex sheet and push the mixture out until it is the size I want - then I gently pull it away. Sorry I can't tell you more or give you numbers/sizes. I don't really know what it's called.

Let me know how they turn out!

You know, I haven't made time to pop in here in a little while, and I've been thinking this past week how I reallllly need to find some new smoothie recipes. And I decide to pop in tonight and find this. My daughter LOVES blueberries and Mom (that's me, LOL!) LOVES lemon and coconut. Me thinks this just might work out really great. ;)

I've made it again today and changed the recipe above - much for the better! It reminds me of a blueberry lemon cream tart - I may just drink this all day!!

Whoooohoooo! See you there!!

My husband wants it for dinner too... ahhhhh....can't wait.....I'm a sucker for tasty treats made with berries.

[rawererin]

where did you get your coconut powder?

[maraw]

It was sent as a "gift." I wasn't sure what to do with it when I first got it, but now I sure do...

It was from a company called Ultimate Raw Foods. I understand Alissa sells it also.

I've also used fresh coconut and that works really niced also. I used the flesh of one Thai coconut.

[Ama]

Sippin' on this right now. I made a few changes though...
I made mine a green smoothie!

1 C almond milk (that's all I had made)
1 C water
2 C blueberries (I used frozen)
3 lemons, juiced
3 T coconut powder (mine were heaping)
2 T agave nectar
2 handfuls of organic baby spinach

YUM!

Thanks Anna for the recipe... this is definitely a KEEPER!

[Ama]

I have never purchased from here but I did a search for the coconut creme powder and although almost all stores seem to be out this looks to be instock (at least it doesn't say sold out!)

Maraw...Did you use 3 dates or 6 dates? You have them listed twice. I can't wait to try this. It sounds sooo yummy!

[PATH301]

This is an easy one - just my type. once I'm off my juice fast I'll make it - thankyou:D

[Veganforlife]

Bumping this because it sounds so dern good. I'm using my b-berries from the farmer's market for this tomorrow. Yum-OH!!! Thanks Anna!!!

[rawgreenyogini]

Thanks VFL!!

If you didn't bump this thread I never would have seen it. My hubby loves blueberries...I love anything lemony.


It's just like round peas and square carrots in a TV dinner...meant to be!!!

[Veganforlife]

I made this last week and it is SO good! Now that blueberries are in season here on the East Coast - WHOA!!! I love this combination! And what a nice touch the coconut powder adds to it!
This is really, really good. Very refreshing!

[exurb]

Geez, when maraw says you must try this, yummy, you KNOW it must be awesome because you just throw a dart at maraw's recipes and whichever it hits is outstanding.

Thanks, will definitely try it.

All your food is amazing maraw and thanks again!

[blueberries]

oooooh I love blueberries :D I will certainly give this one a try. I just picked about 3 lbs today so I can make it in the morning!

Thanks for posting the recipe

[Veganforlife]

[EZ rider]

I found a picture of this smoothie: http://www.purelydelicious.net/bluelemonsmoothie.htm It looks delicious.

[snoops]

WOWOWOW - I am drinking as I write. This is wonderful. Lemony, blueberry goodness. I used young thai coconut meat.

[klomasius]

Now this sounds like tangy creamy smoothie goodness!

My son has been hanging out to use the cleaver on a young thai coconut again, so I think this one will get made in the coming days.
