COCONUT CHERRY VANILLA SMOOTHIE
From: Alyssa @ www.everydaymaven.com/
Since I originally created this for the baby, I kept it dairy free, nut free, 100% sugar-free and also used Vanilla Bean Powder in place of pure Vanilla Extract since real vanilla extract is usually made with alcohol.
Ingredients
2 1/2 ounces full fat canned coconut milk
3 1/2 ounces filtered water
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla powder
pinch finely ground sea salt
3 ounces frozen organic sweet cherries (Can get them at Costco)
7 to 8 ice cubes
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in the order listed in a blender.
Process until smooth and
Enjoy!

*NOTES:
Just a quick note about the Pure Vanilla Powder. If it’s white, it’s processed and not “pure”. You are basically looking for a powder made from vanilla beans and that in its natural form is speckled black. I have only tried a couple brands so far and am really loving the quality of this one. www.amazon.com/Wilderness-Poets-Wildcrafted-Vanilla-Powder/
If you decide to substitute Pure Vanilla Extract, you most likely will have to add just a small amount of natural sweetener to counter the bitterness in the alcohol base. Start with a teaspoon of Pure Maple Syrup or a drop of good quality liquid Stevia.
