Our slogan is “Where foodie meets beauty.” We have been lacking on our foodie emphasis. We will start bringing out the foodie in us (and you!) more often. YAY! Plus we need ways of channeling our foodie energy.
Recently we have started adding cream of coconut (NOT coconut cream) in our smoothies and we LOVE the results. Using a tablespoon or less in a smoothie gives it a light sweetened taste without being overbearing.
Simply open a can, put it into a container and refrigerate when you want to create a smoothie. It is dairy-free and similar to condensed milk. I personally don’t like coconut-flavored anything, so the cream takes on whatever flavor the other ingredients has.
I know, looking at the list of ingredients is probably sketchy, but we found this to be a dirt cheap, satisfying way to get quick results without having to get powdered coconut milk, or trying to have a bunch of coconut milk on hand.
What is your favorite sweetener and/or dairy alternative?
P.S. Stay tuned: we will share our homemade vegan smoothie powder recipe with you next week!
