I'm just curious if I'm thinking of the same kind of coconut milk you are – I used Taste of Thai Lite Coconut Milk.
Same kind I use!
I did this tonight as a coworker has given up on her coconut milk adventure and I got a half gallon out of it. My go to green smoothie has been spinach, pineapple and banana so tonight I added the coconut milk. I can't believe something this creamy is healthy.
Sarah, I know, can you believe it? I use lite coconut milk all the time. You should check out my fudge recipe on the site. Oh my….YUM!
what about the So Delicious vanilla coconut milk? it 70 calories? and i used it for this recipie and YUM!!!! so so so good! thank you skinny ms!
I just love coconut milk and had to try this one. It is fabulous
Yum!!! Went lactose free only a few days ago and am delighted to find this smoothie! Don't have to think of substitutes for anything!!!
I will definelty be whipping this one up this morning ! Love me some spinach recipes !
You're gonna love it! So yummy!!!
You may want to clarify what type of coconut milk you want us to use. I bought a brand called Goya and was surprised that 1 cup was almost 400 calories and 200% of my daily saturated fat (it sure was rich tasting!). But today I found a "coconut milk beverage" at Trader Joe's – 1 cup for 60 calories and 25% of saturated fat (first ingredient = filtered water). I saw above that you mentioned Taste of Thai Lite Coconut Milk but wonder how its calories/fat compare to these two very different products with the same name – and which one you want us to use!
Regardless, I lost five pounds on this detox after the holiday binge – thanks skinnyms!
SkinnierMom, We use canned coconut milk because of its health benefits. If low-cal is a concern, then yes go for a beverage. Thanks!
SO Delicious unsweetened coconut milk!! 1 cup 45 calories
MMMMMM Spinach, Coconut milk, banana, pineapple & chia – DELICIOUS!
can i use skim milk instead of coconut milk ?
Cristina, Yes, skim will work.
Had this, this morning! Bright green for St. Patricks day ^.^ So yummy!!
Can I use almond milk?
Alice, Yes…almond milk will work!
tried this today with almond milk and it was yummy!
So I'm the weird person with an extreme aversion to bananas. What other fruit would you suggest?
Ashley, Hmmmmmmm…mango, avocado, pear…something that will have a creamy consistency when blended.
can i eat the same thing every day? or is it best to mix it up on the cleanse?
Jessica, It’s best to mix it up but if that works for you, go for it. It’s all healthy food!
