AIP Friendly Carob-Coconut Avocado Lime Smoothie
Creamy, tangy, and just a little earthy, this blended drink hits every note you want from a satisfying treat without straying from autoimmune protocol guidelines. Full-fat coconut milk gives it a rich, velvety base, while ripe avocado adds body and healthy fats that keep you full well past the last sip. Carob powder steps in where cacao can't — delivering that deep, chocolatey warmth without the nightshade or stimulant concerns that make conventional chocolate off-limits during elimination phases. Fresh lime juice and a whisper of ground ginger cut through the richness and brighten the whole thing up beautifully. A touch of honey balances the tartness, and you can dial it up or down right in the blender to suit your taste. It comes together in under two minutes and makes two generous glasses, so it works equally well as a quick breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up. Finish with a little lime zest on top and it looks as good as it tastes.
