Berry, coconut and almond smoothie



Dear Readers,
As you have read from my previous posts, we are always looking for recipes that are gluten or lactose free due to family intolerances. Today we tried a smoothie that is said to boost metabolism and after preparing it, we found it was delicious as a simple snack. If you want to have it in the morning before breakfast to boost your metabolism is great, if you don’t have time in the morning, we found it makes a great afternoon snack because it fills you up.

Grace Kagni’s delicious berry smoothie

Here are the ingredients

1 cup homemade lactose free yogurt (see recipe on https://theitalianwriter.blogspot.it/2018/02/is-it-really-lactose-or-gluten-free.html or use alternative such as greek yogurt)
1 large banana
1 cup bio almond milk
1 cup frozen berries
2 tablespoons of chopped almonds
2 tablespoons of coconut flour (flakes used for cakes)

Place all in blender and blend for five to ten minutes until ingredients are smooth.

Enjoy!

Note: It makes a great topping for ice cream, on toast with cream cheese, or even on plain yogurt :)
