Carrots and Coconut Do Make A Breakfast Drink

Created this drink for breakfast yesterday as Cindy and I continue our experiment in breakfast drink creations.  Maybe this is also an any time of the day creation?

Ingredients

1 Piece of a Toblerone Bar shredded and set aside to top the drink.  Make it good quality chocolate whatever you are using.  Lindt is another good choice or one of the fair trade products.

1 large pear -- cored

1 Avocado

2 small or 1 large apple -- cored

1 Handful of mini carrots

Orange Juice-- about 2 inches poured in the bottom of blender.  

And zest of 1/2 a large orange.  Mine was a navel to give you an idea of the size.

1/2 an inch of cranberry juice -- when poured in blender it is about 1/2 inch.  Real technical and precise are we not?

250 ml of  Coconut Milk  -- I used an original unsweetened coconut milk

250 ml of  Vanilla yogurt

1 handful of almonds and cashews.  My hand is large.  Make about 6-8 almonds and cashews each.

Cinnamon -- probably a teaspoon




Directions:

Combine in a blender and top with the shredded chocolate as you see in the picture.

Note --  Makes enough for two days of breakfast drinks for two.  So bear that in mind and adjust the ingredients accordingly.  And the drink tasted great!  The next day.


Happy Eating

Grace and Peace
