\"\"<\/a>I’ve already said that I\u00a0have a kefir smoothie for breakfast almost every morning.\u00a0 I still love my banana chocolate morning smoothie<\/a>, but I’ve found that a verrry close second is my Mango Coconut Kefir Smoothie.\u00a0 It is super good, thick and creamy, and, of course, delicious and healthy too.<\/p>\n

Here’s how I make my Mango Coconut Kefir Smoothie:<\/p>\n

What you need:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1 mango, cubed\u00a0[See Note below for how to cube a mango]
\n3\/4 to 1 cup kefir (made with raw cow or goat milk)
\n1 – 2 tablespoons raw cream (for extra nutrition and richness)
\n1 tablespoon coconut oil
\n1 or 2 egg yolks from pastured chickens
\nstevia or natural sweetener (such as organic maple syrup or raw honey) to taste<\/p>\n

What you do:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Ingredients<\/a>Put all ingredients in a beaker (again, I love my heavy-duty borosilicate glass beaker). I rarely measure the kefir, coconut oil, or cream, I just spoon it up or pour it in, but I’ve given the approximate amounts that I use.\u00a0 Blend until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.\u00a0 Pour into a glass and enjoy!\u00a0 So quick and easy.\u00a0 The mango makes the smoothie\u00a0so thick you could almost spoon it up.\u00a0 The smoothie could be made in a regular blender as well as with a stick blender.<\/p>\n

Note about Mangos:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 I prefer Ataulfo<\/a> mangos, which have a buttery, less fibrous texture and are smaller than the more common red-green Tommy Atkins mango, but any mango will do for your smoothie.\u00a0\u00a0Ataulfo mangos are not always available, especially organic ones, but I use them when I can find them. The photo at right\u00a0shows one half of\u00a0the Ataulfo mango scored for slicing off the cubes, but if you need it, here’s more information about\u00a0how to\u00a0cut up\u00a0a mango<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
