Five ingredients for the most hydrating, fresh, electrolyte-packed smoothie bowl you’ve ever had. This Coconut Creme Smoothie bowl is a fun summer breakfast, the perfect post-workout meal, or a great option for when your skin needs a little inside-out hydration.
Most store-bought smoothies are packed with added sugars, even if they use good, clean ingredients. They often lack the healthy fat, protein and fiber that are necessary to slow down digestion, give a sense of satiety, and keep blood sugar from blowing through the roof.
This flavorful but unfussy smoothie has all of the healthy fats and protein necessary to keep your blood sugar stable in order to help you feel full, calm, satisfied and energized. Coconut meat is high in both healthy fats and fiber. Coconut oil is high in healthy fat.
Let’s touch on why coconut fat is so beneficial:
- About 50 percent of the medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are lauric acid, which is known to be anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-fungal.
- Coconut oil is high medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are an easily digestible saturated fat. They are transported directly to the liver where they’re converted into ketones. Ketones deliver quick energy and are often digested before they can be stored as body fat.
-
MCT’s may also improve insulin sensitivity and promote weight loss.
