AIP Friendly Carob-Coconut Mango Smoothie
Tropical, creamy, and genuinely satisfying, this smoothie brings together frozen mango and full-fat coconut milk for a rich, velvety blend that feels more like a treat than a health drink. Carob powder steps in where cacao can't go on the autoimmune protocol, delivering that deep, slightly sweet, chocolatey-adjacent flavor without any of the nightshade or seed concerns that make conventional chocolate off-limits. A touch of fresh grated ginger adds brightness and a gentle warmth, while Ceylon cinnamon rounds everything out with subtle spice. Honey keeps the sweetness natural and compliant, and the whole thing comes together in under two minutes with nothing but a blender. It makes two generous servings, so it's perfect for sharing or saving one for later in the day. If you've been missing a rich, indulgent-tasting smoothie since starting your elimination phase, this one is going to feel like a real win.

Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

- ½ cup water
Instructions
- 1
Add the frozen mango, coconut milk, carob powder, ginger, honey, Ceylon cinnamon, and water to a blender.
