Coconut Cream Pie Protein Shake

This recipe has a simple ingredient list with no added sugar, dairy free, vegan, gluten free and paleo.Dessert for breakfast, yes please!!

Yesterday was a rough… Parker and I laid cooped up in the bed all.day.long. This cold had me dragging and with nursing there are so many DON’TS when it comes to medications. Parker is 11 weeks and I’m trying to keep the little guy well and sick-free, but that’s hard when he’s attached to me 24/7…

It’s like I have a new appendage.

Since I’m breastfeeding there are antibodies specific to my cold that will keep him well or if he gets sick he won’t get as sick. Isn’t nature so neat? Luckily he hasn’t shown symptoms yet… and I’ve been praying he is spared this nasty crud.

I’m contemplating a run to whole foods to get some essential oils. Any recommendations? My girl Kara did a nice write up on how to use essential oils which is a helpful reference. 

Welp it’s the second day of smoothie week and I’ve got a delicious smoothie for you today! It’s like dessert that’s healthy enough for breakfast! I know, right?

When Eric sees this post today he’s going to be pretty jealous because coconut is his ALL TIME favorite flavor. And I made this after he already left for work. Sorry babe!

It’s simple to make too, high protein, low sugar and filled with good fats from coconut. I even ate it with a spoon! Hope you enjoy.

    I am doing a preop diet for bariatric surgery and this sounds so good, but has more fat than I’m allowed right now. I love coconut though! Any suggestions on lowering the fat content? What about almond milk instead of coconut milk?

      Hey! I’d suggest no coconut oil or coconut cream and make sure you’re using the coconut milk in the refrigerated section. It’s much lower in fat/calories— but check labels. Those adjustments should lower fat content tremendously. 🙂

    Hey! What type of protein powder did you use when nursing? I’m trying to find one to use on days that I am needing to add some protein to my morning smoothie!

      I really like Publix Greenwise Organic Whey Protein Powder… it tastes so good and simple ingredient list! Do you have a Publix near you?

    Coconut might be my second all time favorite flavor (after chocolate/PB combo) so this sounds delicious! I swear by raw garlic (added to a heaping spoon of nut butter to cancel out the burning a little) when I have a cold and it always seems to do the trick- Feel free to email me if you want more explicit details. Hope you feel better soon!

      yes– chocolate and PB is dabomb.com. I need to learn more about this garlic thing– garlic and PB mixed.. in a smoothie or just raw. intrigued.

    Sorry to hear about your nasty cold! I’m loving keeping up with you and your baby since the husband and I have been talking about starting a family too. 🙂

    I used to work with a girl who once lent me a peppermint roller stick for my headache. She said to rub it on my forehead, and low and behold a few minutes later my headache was gone.
