Nourishing Coconut Milk Smoothie Recipe

Jump to Recipe

coconut milk smoothie recipeEating well while on the road is a serious challenge. In particular, I find getting a sufficient amount of quality fats to be really tricky given that most restaurants no longer even serve real butter!

Forget about decent milk and cream unless you happen to be traveling to a friend or relative’s home who also eats traditionally.

Adequate fat intake while traveling is absolutely essential as it calms frayed nerves and keeps the blood sugar steady so that you don’t succumb to all the cheap processed carbs and make yourself ill in the process – not to mention packing on a few unwanted pounds!

Coconut Milk Smoothie

Here’s a recipe for a quick nourishing smoothie that is loaded with good fats that can be made anywhere with ingredients that can be found even at a regular supermarket.

This is also a good recipe to use if fresh dairy from a small local farm is unavailable in your area or you have simply run out for a few days until the next farm pickup!

    an avocado give the same smoothness as the banana but without all the sugar. If you’re stopping at the store to get bananas, you could buy some berries and use those too!

      Well, I am currently in the middle of my fifth time driving across the country, coast to coast. I can attest that the smoothie does work better with the avocado. I have been completely self-suffcient for three days and am eating the organic meat and vegetables and whole grains that I packed. Coconut manna is the biggest blessing to me right now. It is amazing for the road in a myriad of ways. Also coconut oil. It is essential that I maintain optimum nutrition while I am on the road and all I need is a blender and a cooler and a small fridge in the hotel. It is possible to travel and eat just as good as when you are home with careful planning and thoughtful decisions. Thank you for writing this blog!!!

    I have a bunch of good stainless steel thermoses and always fill them with delicious soups or stews when we go on a road trip. I’ll be adding these smoothies to our on the road meals now too. Thanks for the tip.

    I’m just starting into doing all traditional foods, and I’m worried about a trip in September. I’ll be flying and stuck with a car in a downtown hotel for 4 days. I’m thinking of requesting a gluten free meal plan from the convention, but I have no medical reason to do so.

    I’d love to take along some foods and my kombucha, but I just don’t see how I can do much since I’m flying. And I really need healthy food energy for this conference.

    Your smoothie sounds good, and I may be able to incorporate it into a trip I’m taking in October where I’ll be driving. Now I need a cooler that I can plug into the car. 🙂

    Sounds good but lacking in protein. What about using the whole egg? Also I usually bring some of Mercola’s Power Protein powder along with me. This is the Proserum protein from unheated milk of pasture fed organic cows. It makes me feel better than just about anything.

    Thanks for being a shining beacon amidst the nutrition fog.

      Don’t forget the egg yolk contains 40% of an egg’s protein!! Hard to believe but true!

    This is perfect for me, too — I’m on the road 2-4 weeks a month right now and the food SUCKS. Omg, it is the worst thing about road life. I always look for mom and pop diners so I can get a couple of eggs fried in the am. Some towns don’t have anything but franchises. I am appalled. So thank you for this!

    I take honey with me on the plane packed in a small jar but can easily substitute the maple syrup. I always check for a whole foods or natural grocer when I’m going to a city so I’ll know what to expect. The probiotic capsule is a good addition. I’m wondering like the first poster: canned or one of the cartons of coconut milk/cream?

    Also, on the eggs. You say separate out the yolks and I’m assuming you mean use the yolks, right? Just checking… you must mean that because there’s like NO fat in the whites, lol.

    The shaker thing won’t work with the bananas. I have one and it doesn’t even work that well with just powder. I’m going to look for a travel blender. I have friends who work on the road like I do and many have a travel blender.

    To T.: yes, all that. Nice big cooler in your car, get a car charger so you can plug in the blender — you can get an all-purpose one at Radio Shack. I drive a lot and I use that to charge my ipod and my computer and phone.

      I guess I got ahead of myself a bit. I was thinking you could mash the banana with a fork and then put in the smoothie cup with the ball/other ingredients and then shake it up. If the banana is nice and ripe it should mix pretty well. Not as well as a blender, but it would be passable I’m thinking.

    Sarah,
    I had to laugh when I saw the add that comes up on this post “Country Crock”. You know someone new to blogs might think you did that and the country crap is OK! It’s a shame you can’t control who advertises :/

    Smoothie sounds yummy

      Yeah, some of the ads are lousy and no method of screening them out is perfect. Then again, I think the vast majority of folks realize that ads do not necessarily represent the views of the hosting site.
