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!

    I often like to add vegetables to my smoothies, but I was recently wondering if there is a good source of what vegetables are ok to add raw and which ones should be avoided. I know raw spinach is a no-no, but I often wonder about other greens (lettuce, arugula, kale, turnip greens, etc.) or things like zucchini, squash, or cucumbers. Do you know where I might find this information?

    Since I often make smoothies for breakfast, I would love to add some veggies to all the raw milk, kefir, fruit, eggs, and coconut oil I normally have in there.

    This is amazing!!! Tastes like a banana cream pie!! I reduced the maple syrup to 1 tbsp and only put in one banana and it was plenty sweet. Thanks for this heavenly combo Sarah!!

    I’m still not clear on why not to use the egg whites in smoothies. I put the whole thing in mine. Can someone explain this to me? Some recipes call for the whole raw egg. Some call for the yolk only. I don’t get it.

      I’m not sure about all the technical jargon, but there is something in the egg whites that when eaten raw inhibits nutrient absorbtion in your body. The yolk contains the majority of all that good stuff we want when we eat eggs.

      Raw egg whites contain a factor that inhibits biotin absorption from the body. You never want to consume raw egg whites because of this.

    Sounds good, but I’d skip the maple syrup as that will add tons of sugar. The bananas will naturally sweeten it.

    what do you do with all of the egg whites? Just toss or do you save them for egg white omelettes or something else? Feed my daughter egg yolks, use egg yolks for this that and the other and I guess I feel as though I am wasting.

      Check out my video under the “sweets” section for protein cookies made with egg whites. This is how I use mine up.

    So happy to find your blog. I’ve watched many videos and even taken 2 separate classes on line regarding traditional cooking. I really appreciate yours! They are short and to the point!! I seem not to do very well with chicken eggs right now and a friend suggested I try duck eggs. Just wondering if I can eat them raw as well? This smoothie looks great. Thanks for all the information you provide.

      Sure, raw duck yolks are fine too. Just get good quality ones and wash them in warm soapy water before cracking.

    Hi Sarah,

    I just love this idea. Also, I wanted to mention that traveling with a stick blender might be good idea. Especially if your staying in a hotel room. Today most hotel rooms have a small fridge so you could keep the eggs in there and then whip up the smoothy with the stick blender before heading out for the day. And you could even pour it over ice from the ice maker. I am definitely going to try this.

    Love,

    Mary

    Awesome idea! I was already planning to pre-mix some coconut milk smoothies for the travel part of our next trip to Disney, but I didn’t think about making them there. But, it’s true, coconut milk in cans would travel well, and a stick blender and large mug are small enough to pack. They have bananas there if I don’t want to chance it traveling. Though I might buy those squeeze packs of PB or almond butter instead of bringing a jar (I make mine with cocoa powder and PB).

    Question: Since hubs won’t do sit down restaurants at Disney, I end up hurting for veggies by the end of our trips. Raw carrots and celery don’t do it for me, so I thought I’d bring my Easy Sprout Sprouter and some green lentils and just use those. Do you think there is any harm in eating raw sprouted lentils for a few days in a row? I’m not too concerned with lectins and phytic acid in them given the amount of unnatural food-like substances that I’m likely to consume while there. (and I do plan on bringing real butter in my purse, and possibly coconut oil as well).

    Also, any idea if an olive oil based home made dressing would go bad after a few hours in an uninsulated purse? I’m thinking mainly just olive oil, rice vinegar, some unpasteurized soy sauce, and seasonings. That’s pretty stable, right?

    Mercola recommends using the whole raw egg since the yolk helps with the not so good element in the white. I’d hate to waste the white like that, but of course, the yolk alone tastes better!

    I’ve thrown in the towel when it comes to eating well while traveling–it’s a perfect opportunity to fast!
