Coconut Berry Smoothie

I have been playing around with smoothie recipes.  I wanted one that would be great for Breakfast.  So I wanted it higher in calories and very filling.  I made this the other day for snack.  It was very filling, I could not eat much dinner that day has I was still full from this smoothie.  So I made it again today for breakfast and took a photo.  So I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.  It is a nice break from eggs:)

Coconut Berry Smoothie

1/2 cup all natural greek yogurt(i used the greek gods all natural yogurt, green container)

1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder(i use pure protein plus)
1 Tbsp flax seed or flax seed meal

Blend all ingredients in blender until creamy.  Serve immediately.

  1. What is coconut cream? Is this something you make or can it be bought via retail?

    1. It can be found at stores. You can use coconut milk, almond milk or soy milk too.
