TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for you when making this blackberry coconut power shake.
- Use Frozen Blackberries: This makes the shake colder and eliminates the need for ice cubes while preserving the berry’s nutrients.
- Ensure Smooth Blending: If using a lower-powered blender, blend the coconut milk and protein powder first before adding the blackberries.
- Sweeten Naturally: If the shake tastes too tart, add half a banana or a teaspoon of honey (if not strictly vegan).
- Enhance Creaminess: Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and silkier texture, or use light coconut milk for a lower-calorie version.
- Boost The Nutrition: Add a teaspoon of flaxseeds or chia seeds for additional fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Make It More Filling: Blend in a handful of oats for a more substantial meal replacement.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Option: This shake is already nut-free, but you can swap coconut milk for oat or rice milk for a different flavour.
- Berry Blend: Mix in other berries, such as blueberries or raspberries, for a more complex berry flavour.
- Higher Protein: Increase the protein powder to 15g or add a tablespoon of hemp seeds for an extra protein boost.
- Chocolate Version: Add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.
- Tropical Upgrade: Blend in 50g of mango or pineapple for a tropical flavour boost.
- Low-Fat Alternative: Use a coconut milk beverage instead of canned coconut milk for a lower-fat option.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: This shake is best enjoyed immediately, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, as separation may occur.
- Freezing: Freeze the shake in an ice cube tray and blend the frozen cubes with extra coconut milk when ready to drink.
- Meal Prep: Pre-measure the blackberries and protein powder into small containers for an easy grab-and-blend option.
