Whatever happened to using real, raw whole eggs for the smoothie? The
yolk is where most of the real nutrients are. They do sell non-caged eggs in
the regular grocery stores here in Corsicana.
I don't have a scientific rationale for this next statement, but - by
observation of over-age fertile eggs my late husband brought home from a
veterinarian diagnostic lab in College Station, Texas, in the 1970s - I have
come to the conclusion that the albuminous part of the egg becomes a "septic
tank" for the little chick as it grows from an embryo, using the food
substances in the yolk, into the little critter everyone falls in love with
around Easter time.
As far as the coconut part is concerned, I had made a statement in an
earlier message that coconut oil & milk sometimes make me feel nauseous.
There are, however, benefits of an inflammation-fighting sort in their use.
I sometimes add a touch of vanilla (lazily, I use an extract) or cinnamon
(again lazily, I use the powder). I have bought some pure Nestlé's cocoa
powder - not the "Dutched" type - to try (again, in small amounts) on
occasion. Pure cocoa powder is now found in the baking section of a store,
not in the tea/coffee/chocolate drink area - at least at HEB here in
Corsicana.
The base of my smoothies is a cup of home-made almond milk, with no more
than the addition of 1/4 cup of coconut milk (one from a health food store).
Sometimes I add a dash of unrefined honey if the fruit appears to be a bit
on the sour side.
