About
While this smoothie appears a little on the short side, this is basically a fat bomb in smoothie form! Fatty coconut milk (the kind that separates in a can) thickens up this beverage to near-milkshake status. To achieve the best cooling effect, use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones, and place the Keto plant-based milk and cream in the freezer for 30 minutes before preparation. That ensures that the final product is cooling and hydrating.
