Shake Ingredients

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (about 13.5 oz)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 tbsp low carb sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol)
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup)

Optional Toppings

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk, shredded coconut, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and your preferred amount of low-carb sweetener.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring the chia seeds are well incorporated.
  3. Add Ice and Blend Again: Add ice cubes to the blender and blend until the shake reaches a thick and frothy consistency.
  4. Serve: Pour the thick coconut milk shake into a glass. For an extra special touch, top with whipped coconut cream and sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut as a garnish.
  5. Adjust Sweetness and Flavor: Taste your shake and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sweetener. You may also customize the flavor by adding a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon for variety.

Notes

  • You can substitute the low-carb sweetener with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup if preferred, but this may affect the carb count.
  • For a thicker shake, reduce the amount of almond milk or add more ice.
  • Allow the chia seeds to soak a few minutes before blending for an even smoother texture.
  • Optional toppings like whipped coconut cream add richness but also extra calories and fat.
  • This shake makes a great quick breakfast or post-workout snack.
