The brilliance behind this smoothie is the use of shredded coconut vs coconut milk. I seem to not do as well on coconut milk so I prefer shredded if it will blend well. It does not blend 100% in this blender but I enjoy the little amounts of "pulp" that remain. Shredded coconut (9 cents per 100 calories) is a lot cheaper than coconut milk (25 cents per 100 calories) if you buy on Amazon.
The whey is the protein and the coconut is the fat. The 1/2 banana adds a little sweetness with some carbs while the stevia adds more sweetness to make it just right with zero added carbs. The cacao powder adds a nice chocolate flavor and a host of antioxidants to boost.

I actually used 4 oz of water but it was slightly too diluted. Try 2 oz and add a touch if you find the consistency to be too creamy. Each person has their own consistency preference so alter it to your own liking.

Why Drink Primal Smoothies?
They are fast. Simple. Healthy. If you have a recipe to follow then making it should take less than 5 minutes every single time. If you are in a super hurry then you can drink the smoothie on the go without causing any trouble.
In addition, your body is able to absorb more nutrients since the blender has ground all of the food up. Digestion improves and you are well on your way to a healthy and vibrant day! Primal smoothies, the ones I make, will not harm your blood sugar in any way unlike the fruit smoothies. You will also build muscle and lose fat.
