This is a quick breakfast you can drink on the go!

Ingredients:

1 cup Coconut Milk (recipe in Chapter 6) or 1 13.5-ounce can coconut milk or 1 cup Almond Milk (recipe in Chapter 6)*
1-2 tablespoons protein powder (goat protein, whey, or rice protein)
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon stevia powder
8-10 ice cubes

Directions:

Place all ingredients but ice in a blender and process at high speed until well combined. Add ice after the coconut oil is blended so that it won’t clump. You may use more or less ice, depending on how cold you like a smoothie.
