AIP Friendly Carob-Coconut Berry Smoothie
Rich, creamy, and bursting with berry flavor, this smoothie is the kind of treat that feels indulgent without asking anything complicated of you. Full-fat coconut milk gives it a luscious, velvety base, while frozen blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries bring natural sweetness and a gorgeous deep color. Carob powder steps in where cocoa can't go on the autoimmune protocol, delivering that warm, slightly chocolatey depth without any of the nightshade or seed concerns that make conventional chocolate off-limits. A touch of honey, freshly grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and vanilla powder layer in complexity that makes this taste far more sophisticated than a two-minute blend has any right to. Everything goes straight into the blender and comes together in under a minute, making it an effortless option for busy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up. It serves two, so it's perfect for sharing — or saving the second glass as a little reward for later in the day.
