Strawberries + Cream Smoothie

Using fresh Coconut can seem daunting but once you get it open there is a delightful reward. Creamy coconut meat and coconut water! Exceptionally hydrating and full of electrolytes and healthy fats I've used both the coconut water and the meat in this smoothie.  Give it a go! You'll love fresh coconut.
