Almond Joy Smoothie

Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 3/4 cups Silk Unsweetened Coconut Milk see Notes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 pitted prunes OR 1 large pitted Medjool date
  • a few pinches of unsweetened shredded coconut for serving

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients, except the shredded coconut, into your blender in the order given. Blend on high speed until smooth. Be sure to give the prunes a chance to be blended thoroughly before serving.
  • Top with the shredded coconut.

Notes

To reduce the fat even further, try using Silk Unsweetened Almond Coconut Blend.
The prunes have about three grams of sugar each. It is all natural sugar from the fruit, none added. If you think you don't like prunes, I promise, they are absolutely undetectable in this! Dates work wonderfully too and if neither appeals to you, try using one tablespoon of honey in place of either of those.
If your banana was frozen when it was extra ripe, it may be sweet enough to omit adding the prunes or dates completely.
