1. Place the coconut oil, almond oil and a few drops of essential oil (optional) into a mixing bowl. Blend with a hand mixer until well combined and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). If you are using essential oils, smell the mixture and see if the scent is strong enough for your liking. If not, add a few more drops of oil and blend for a few more seconds. It’s that easy!
Note: This will produce a thick body butter. If you like a thinner lotion, you can thin yours out by adding more almond oil until you get the consistency that you like.
Approximately 1-1/2 cups ice {depending on how icy you like your shakes}
1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk {the canned kind. Try to find BPA-free cans.}
1/2 cup almond milk or coconut milk beverage
2 scoops dairy-free protein powder, such as No Udder Protein
1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tablespoon Paleo caramel sauce, plus extra for garnish
1 teaspoon toasted coconut flakes
1 tablespoon dairy-free chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life, melted
1. In a high speed blender, combine ice, coconut milk, almond milk, protein powder, coconut flakes, and caramel sauce. Blend until completely smooth.
2. Pour into a glass and garnish with toasted coconut flakes, extra caramel sauce, and a drizzle of melted dairy-free chocolate chips, if desired.
*I found that the coconut flavor was very mild. For a coconutty boost, consider adding about 1/8 teaspoon of coconut extract.
