This coconut shake recipe is going to be something very tasty and sweet, but still healthy for your healthy lifestyle.

You will need:
1 cup rice milk
1 scoop of Designer Protein Navtive Whey
1 ½ Tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 Tablespoon unrefined, extra-virgin coconut oil
4 Tablespoons raw honey
1 Tablespoon soy lecithin
(topping) 3 Tablespoons whipped coconut cream
For the whipped coconut cream use Thai coconut cream if you are using it from a can. Other brands contain too much guar gum which inhibits its ability to separate and also affects taste.
Place the can in the freezer for three hours. The cream will rise to the top. Scrape the cream off the top of the can and whip until it forms stiff peaks.
If you want to make fresh coconut cream than simply puree fresh coconut pieces in a little water blend until smooth. Beat with the electric beaters until you reach the desires consistency.
