AIP Friendly Carob & Coconut Smoothie
Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, this smoothie leans on full-fat coconut milk and frozen bananas to create a texture that feels indulgent without straying from a strict elimination protocol. Carob powder steps in where cocoa can't go, delivering that warm, chocolatey depth you might be missing — and it pairs beautifully with Ceylon cinnamon and a hint of fresh ginger for a flavor that's anything but boring. Vanilla powder (not extract) keeps things compliant while adding a subtle sweetness that rounds everything out. A touch of honey and a pinch of sea salt tie the whole blend together, and the whole thing comes together in under two minutes. It makes two generous servings, so it's perfect for sharing or saving one for later in the day. Just blend, pour, and enjoy something that genuinely tastes like a treat.
