Primal or Paleo Low Carb Vanilla Coconut Smoothie Recipe

The following smoothie recipe that I am about to present to you is slightly different then the one I enjoyed. I added a full cup of blueberries but realized I did not need that much. I hesitated to do this because, well, blueberries are one of the most antioxidant rich foods on the planet. But, many will frown because the recipe will contain too many carbohydrates. Because of the alteration I made, I will be trying it one more time before adding it to the Primal Smoothie Recipe eBook.
I own one vanilla and one chocolate canisters of Primal Fuel. Primal Fuel is very expensive and does not work with most people's budgets. Do not worry as only a handful of the 500+ recipes will have Primal Fuel in them. However, I encourage you to try it as it is very beneficial and delicious. I had the lucky opportunity to enjoy eight smoothies based on Primal Fuel at Primal Con and fell in love.
Vanilla Coconut Smoothie Recipe ($3.39)
  • 8 oz water
  • 2 scoops Vanilla Creme Primal Fuel $2.63
  • 6 TBSP Shredded Coconut (30 g) $0.20
  • 1/2 C Frozen Blueberries $0.30
  • 1 C Spinach (1 oz) $0.26
Throw all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Total Cost = $3.39: This is on the more expensive side but still is not terrible. If you were to order this at a smoothie shop you would pay around twice as much is my guess. When I open the Primal Smoothie & Salad Shop recipes will be as reasonable as possible.
I will be taste testing this sometime this week and will report back with my findings. But, don't wait till then! Try this smoothie now please let me know how it tastes! I enjoyed it this morning but decided to modify it since it could have used a little more water and a little less blueberries.

  • Protein: 23 grams - 19%
  • Carbs: 31 grams - 24%
  • Fat: 29 grams - 57%
  • 0.5 grams of Polyunsaturated Fat (this is very key!)
The fact that this smoothie only has.5 grams of polyunsaturated fat is extremely important. Our bodies prefer a the golden ratio of equal parts omega 3 fatty acids and omega 6 fatty acids. It is much easier to consume omega 6 fatty acids in your diet since omega 3's only come from fatty fish.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Check out my profile for more!
