German Dinner and Coconut Strawberry Smoothies May 16, 2008

Tonight we ate:

Rocky Canyon Bratwurst with Dijon Mustard
Homemade Lacto-Fermented Sauerkraut
Kale Sauteed in Chicken Fat and Butter
Chicken Broth

For lunch Seth had some sliced turkey breast and avocado. He was still hungry after that (not enough fat, I told him), so I offered to make him a smoothie.

The man who said he hated coconut oil willingly and happily drank 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, plus a cup of coconut milk.

Here’s the recipe:

A couple of handfuls organic strawberries
8-10 ounces coconut milk
2 raw egg yolks (pastured, preferably)
2 TBS coconut oil
1 banana
1 TBS raw honey

Put everything in blender and mix.

The best think about the coconut oil and coconut milk — Seth said it really filled him up. He didn’t even eat all of his dinner.

Coconut is also really good for the thyroid.

I think I’m going to start giving him smoothies as often as possible. An easy way to get good fat into him.

I had the same smoothie, only I added 4 TBS of raw cream and I omitted the honey. It was sweet enough for me as is.
