Coconut Shake with Cacao Nibs {paleo, dairy-free, vegan, low-carb}
Don’t let the weather fool you.
Summer is coming. Eventually.
And when it does, you’ll be reaching for something cold and refreshing. Something that is easy to whip up and won’t send you on a sugar rush rollercoaster.
Coconut Milkshake with Cacao Nibs
When those triple digits hit, reach for this Coconut Milkshake with Cacao Nibs. Actually, scratch that.
You don’t have to wait for the hot months to enjoy this decadent milkshake! It’s a wonderful treat in the afternoon or even to start the day.
This Coconut Milkshake with Wildly Organic’s Cacao Nibs is:
- dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free
- made with only 5 ingredients!
- has optional collagen peptides for healthy protein
- slightly sweetened with Wildly Organic’s Coconut Syrup
- rich in chunks of cacao nibs
- deliciously refreshing, creamy and smooth (well, except for the cacao nibs ;))
Low-Carb? No Problem!
Feel free to experiment with your favorite friendly sweetener to make this low-carb. Wildly Organic’s Coco Monkey is a great choice! The other ingredients are naturally low-carb so no need to make any adjustments there.
The additional of collagen peptides is two-fold. One, it serves as a gentle and healthy protein source in this shake. This is important to keep your blood sugar levels stable. Two, collagen peptides are rich in amino acids that may prevent and even heal many digestive ailments.
I personally, love adding collagen peptides to my food any chance I get for these reasons. Because it’s tasteless and odorless, adding collagen peptides to this Coconut Milkshake makes this a wonderful healthy treat.
