Instructions
Smoothie
Combine all ingredients for smoothie in a blender (I love using my Ninja blender) and process until smooth.
Garnish with non-dairy coconut whipped cream (see below) and touch of nutmeg.
Coconut Whipped Cream
Take the can of coconut milk (Make sure no guar gum is listed in ingredients) or coconut cream and place in the refrigerator overnight (at least 18 hours). **If using your Ninja blender, place pitcher and blades in refrigerator overnight as well. When ready to use, if using the coconut milk, turn can upside down, open and drain liquid into a small bowl. Set this coconut milk aside to use in other smoothies.
To whip (with regular mixers): Chill bowl & beaters in freezer for 5 minutes. Take the solid cream left in the full fat coconut milk can and place in the mixing bowl. If you are using coconut cream, just place ½ of the contents in the mixing bowl. Whip on high speed for about 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add honey or sugar and vanilla extract and whip another 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
To whip (if using your Ninja blender): Remove pitcher and blades from refrigerator. Take the solid cream left in the full fat coconut milk can and place in the cold pitcher. If you are using coconut cream, just place ½ of the contents in the mixing bowl. Blend on speed 2 for 30 seconds or until fully blended. Add honey or sugar and vanilla extract and blend another 10 seconds. Serve immediately.
