Healthy Pina Colada Breakfast Smoothie

4 posts in this topic

Here's the first iteration of my own breakfast smoothie. Before you ask, no, you can't add rum to the mix :P

I put the following ingredients in the blender:

  • Some pineapple, several slices, usually about a quarter of the pineapple
  • Some mango, not too much because you need to be careful with the sugar
  • Coconut milk with no additives
  • Coconut yoghurt - Abbot Kiney with probiotics
  • Golden flaxseeds
  • Cashews (because I need calories and fats)
  • Chia seeds

Then I will blend everything for a while at max speed and it will give this sweet creamy consistency which ressembles a pina coloda while being paleo, clean (=> Alejando Junger) and overall quite healthy.

The only thing is to really watch out with the sugar content of the fruit - don't overdo it.

You can add cocoa powder to the mix to make it taste more like chocolate.

I will try further iterations and see what good things I can add seamlessly to improve its taste and benefits - I've thought about moringua powder but it's a fine balance.

The most annoying part of the production line is having to cut mangoes and pineapples, I will explore options of batch freezing those for several days so that process is simplified and report back.

Sourcing high quality fruit, seeds and core ingredients is also something I will look into, altough it might be more complicated for such exotic fruits.

Anyways, your feedback is very welcome !

You can store cut mangos and pineapples in the fridge for like a week.
