Yogurt Smoothie

This yogurt smoothie is our go-to breakfast. It has a low glycemic load, so it does not cause a spike in blood sugar. Also, the fats from the yogurt, coconut oil and nut butter provide a steady, slow-burning source of fuel for our bodies and a wonderful sense of satiation!

 2 Tbs. (or more) coconut oil or coconut manna

 2 Tbs. almond butter or a handful of sprouted pumpkin or sunflower seeds

 1/2 cup frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)

 Toasted coconut flakes
 *makes 1 smoothie 

 Equipment:

 Vitamix or heavy duty blender

What you do:

 Toast coconut flakes in toaster oven until lightly browned, then place in freezer for awhile
