Paradise in a Glass: 310 Organic Toasted Coconut Shake
We use 310 Organic Toasted Coconut in this recipe to give it a coco-nutty taste, without all the sugar, or artificial sweeteners. Instead, this yummy meal replacement shake powder is sweetened with plant-based sugar alternative, Stevia. This gives the shake the best of both worlds: great taste while also nourishing the body!
Not to mention, 310 Shake is also loaded with nutrients, including protein, fiber, healthy fats and carbs, and essential superfoods.
Tropical Immune-Booster: Frozen Pineapple
The next ingredient in this fun and islandy shake is frozen pineapple! This naturally-sweet, tropical fruit perfectly complements 310 Toasted Coconut Shake, and the combined tastes will immediately transport you to a beach location in your mind.
Aside from incredible flavor, pineapples also offer awesome health benefits! Loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants, pineapples are an ideal fruit to assist with supporting the immune system, helping to protect the body from illness. In fact, one cup of pineapple contains almost 80% of the recommended daily intake for vitamin C - which is also the exact amount included in this shake recipe!
Fiber & Antioxidant-Packed Veggie: Spinach
Finally, spinach may be the last ingredient you’d expect in a tropical smoothie! The fruits in the recipe easily mask the subtle taste of spinach – and instead, the veggie adds a rich creaminess to the shake. By including spinach in your smoothie, you can easily increase your daily veggie intake without even having to think about it!
Spinach is high in fiber as well as iron, and contains a variety of other nutrients, including vitamins C, A, K, and more – to help support overall health and wellness.
