This Strawberry Coconut Smoothie is perfect for both spring and summer! It’s bursting with delicious tropical flavours and packed with nutrition!
Can you believe we are already a month into Spring? We are certainly experiencing full Spring weather. The days have gotten much longer, and by 6 pm it’s still pretty bright outside, florals and brights are all about and I’m using every opportunity possible to incorporate berries into everything. At the rate we are going, it’s going to be summer in no time. So, if you haven’t been celebrating spring and soon-to-be summer, why not start now with this delicious smoothie? Let me tell you all about it.
A Refreshing Strawberry Coconut Smoothie
So let’s get right to this delicious smoothie right here. Since my favourite is there the Silk Almondmilk Original , I decided to use that as my base. Then I thought, well strawberries is not only a smoothies must, but it’s spring! Per-fect. Then out of nowhere, the need for coconuts popped up in my head. Coconut water! It’s the perfect natural add in in a smoothie and is packed with nutrients and electrolytes on top of the already nutritious Silk Almondmilk Original and strawberries. Guys, I don’t know why but instead of buying coconut water I insisted that we needed FRESH coconut water, which is of course the best, so off to my backyard the Mr. and I went! Two coconuts picked from the tree later, we had quite the experience hacking them open. I drank coconut water straight from one (whoops…) and we used the water in the other for the smoothie.
The result? A delicious, natural and crazy nutritious smoothie. Could there by any two other flavours that blended so well together?! I loved the taste and drank it right up. You could add a natural sweetener if you like your smoothie sweeter (included in the recipe) but I enjoyed the smoothie just as is. The Silk Almondmilk Original adds a great creamy base perfect for smoothies, the frozen strawberries blend together flawlessly and the coconut water gives it that kick of freshness and tropical-ness that we are all looking for in smoothies. This is one is being added to my list of favourites!
PS – if you have access to coconuts, save that jelly on the inside! It is perfect for thickening up puddings and smoothies too, or eating by itself!

Since it’s 3 days until I get married (what!) you know that the fact that I’m blogging right now is for something super important. Whew! Z, I have to tell you, keeping this a secret from you was HARD but Happy Secret Virtual Baby Shower for Baby Blahnik!
So, background story. Zainab (Z) of Blahnik Baker and I made a connection over a year ago over the blogosphere (could it be mutual love for food and fashion?) and ever since then we’ve had some pretty fun memories and long conversations, including sending numerous blog photos back and forth for help with title names or does this look a tinge too yellow to helping me finalise a new logo when I rebranded. Last year even we did a blogger gift exchange in which I sent Z a Jamaican themed package (Jamaican savoury and sweet foods authentic to Jamaica) and I just received such an adorable American themed package with gifts I use to this day – including a cute spatula and oven mitten set!
