The Live Green Smoothie Diet

The inspiration for this simple recipe is to create something creamy to put over top fruit, a warm live breakfast cereal, or a raw dessert… something akin to a Chantilly whipped cream, but healthful, quick, and easy.

Made from the meat of a young coconut, with a few Utterly Pedestrian ingredients added, it whips up in minutes without a lot of fuss, and tastes great.

I used a mini food processor because of the small quantity, and therefore the texture is slightly “natural” rather than refined. (Yah, I know… it looks more like oatmeal in these shots!) If I were going to do this for company, or just to feel fancy, I would double the quantity (crack open 2 coconuts) so that it would “catch” in the blades of my Blendtec better, and I’d whip it up into a much finer Chantilly-cream texture, the way a gourmet raw foodie or a raw restaurant would. But for a daily purpose, this works just fine in my view.

The amount it produces is perfect for two people, or as a garnish for four. And if you have anything left over… pop it into a smoothie, your fresh almond (or other nut/seed) milk, make a warm cacao beverage with it, or even use it with a raw cocktail! There’s a lot you can do with it.

I just spooned it over some cherries for a late-morning snack!
