Samoa Smoothie

Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
    3/4 cup light coconut milk
    1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla or caramel extract
    1 teaspoon maple syrup
    6 ice cubes
    Pinch of cacao nibs, optional garnish

Directions

  1. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast your shredded coconut. Stir frequently for about 3 minutes, making sure none of the coconut burns. Once the edges are a nice golden color, remove from heat, and divide in half.
  2. Combine half of the toasted coconut, coconut milk, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Top off your smoothie with the rest of the toasted coconut and a sprinkle of the cacao nibs (optional).
  4. Sip and enjoy!
