Coconut, Vanilla & Almond Butter Smoothie

Coconut, Vanilla & Almond Butter Smoothie is a velvety smoothie made with coconut milk, vanilla, almond butter and sweetened with dates!

I need a weekend from this past weekend.

Chaos. Pure Chaos. But all good chaos. Does that even exist?

Coconut, Vanilla & Almond Butter Smoothie is a velvety smoothie made with coconut milk, vanilla, almond butter and sweetened with dates! If you follow my Instagram, you probably saw me bragging about some cute new babes that came into my life. I am the proud auntie to THREE new babes.

Three. All in one day may I add.

Both of my sister in laws had their babes on Friday.  My brother’s wife was scheduled to be induced on Thursday but was postponed to Friday. And then the twins from future sister in law just thought it would be fun to make an early entrance into the world, instead of this upcoming Tuesday! They are so clever.

See, good chaos!

Luckily, they were both at the same hospital so that was less of a headache but one minor detail. The babes were about 10 hours apart. My niece Nora said hello to the world at 1:11pm and the twins, Beckett and Lyla, said hello at 11:35pm & 11:36pm.

So what do you think a young, not quite married couple would be doing on a Friday night? Asleep? Well, that is typically the answer, but this Friday night we decided to venture out of the town. Rare siting these days! After dinner and a few cocktails later, we got a call from our brother in law that my fiancé’s sister was in labor. Oh goodness. A few things flew through my head…like maybe we shouldn’t have had those shots? Kidding! Sorta.

And we need to go!

So up to the hospital we went!  We were so excited for many reasons. How crazy is that all three babes decided to enter the world on the same day?! 4.4.2014. Definitely never forget that birthday!  And we will forever be bouncing back and forth between birthday parties.

All good chaos is ahead for us.  With so much chaos this weekend, a simple, non-complicated breakfast was a necessity. As the weather temperature increases, so does my cravings for smoothies. For some odd reason that I cannot explain, smoothies during the colder months do not appeal to me. Crazy because I drink iced coffee and down ice cream like its going out of style all year long.  I told you I’m a lil weird….

Coconut milk and almond butter create a velvety texture, with fresh vanilla specks throughout in this almond butter smoothie, no bananas here! To balance out last’s weeks Mexican fiesta, I sweetened the smoothie with dates; which I love for their caramel undertones. Dates are a staple in our house from making our favorite appetizer to eating straight with a spoonful of almond butter for a quick pre-workout pick me up. So tasty.

While this almond butter smoothie is a velvety, addicting and healthy smoothie to start your day, I savor it just as much for a night cap to a chaotic weekend.

So please excuse me will I go hit the snooze just a few more hundred times.

meal prep tips:

  1. to save yourself time in the morning, combine all the ingredients in a sealed container, store in the fridge, then add to a high powered blender at time of consumption.

  2. this smoothie tastes great as a frozen treat as well! Just blend, place in a bowl and freeze. let sit for 10 minutes to thaw slightly then enjoy like ice cream!

Notes

*Vanilla protein powder would be great to add for a post workout smoothie!

        Hi Susan, for the full cococnut flavor and thickest milkshake, use full fat canned coconut milk. But for lighter versions you can use light coconut or carton. Enjoy!

    Maybe I'm just not seeing it in the recipe, but do you know how many calories and fat grams are in this drink? I would live to try this but I'm counting calories right . If you could let me know I'd appreciate it. This sounds delicious. Thanks

      Hi Regina, I am sorry but I do not provide nutritional values as products nutritional facts can vary based of brand. There are many sites that can provide you the facts by adding the ingredients you are using. I wouldn't want to add facts that may or may not be true based off the products you end up using. Also, if you are considered with calories and fat, use low fat coconut milk or coconut milk out of the carton. But note that milk out of the carton will lack to provide the thickness and creaminess that the canned coconut milk provides. If you do decide to go the carton route, you can add Xanthan Gum which is an all natural, gluten free thickener. I hope that helps!

      Hi Sarah! Yes you can use almond milk, but the coconut milk is what helps make the smoothie thick. So it may be quite a bit thinner, but give it a go! You certainly can add shredded coconut, but honestly the coconut milk is very mild so there is no strong coconut flavor.

Although I'm 6 months late (to the day, no less), I'd like to congratulate you on those precious little bundles that came into your life not too long ago. What's more, they were born on MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY....a very special day indeed!!! ;-) It's so crazy that they all decided to arrive on the same day.....they must have planned it months ago....9 months ago to be exact. Hehehe!! Lastly, this smoothie looks so yummy. I'm not a fan of coconut (it's a texture thing) but I like coconut milk, so I'm sure I'll love this!! Enjoy those babies and remember, it's never too early to start shopping for presents. :-)

    Hi! Your smoothie recipes sound really delicious and I look forward to trying them! But I have a question: I notice in the comments you mention that we can use coconut milk from a can or a carton. I tried to buy some in a can, but when I open it up, it's separated into cloudy liquid and tofu-texture-like solids. Even if I shake the can before opening it, the contents are still separated. Is this normal? How am I to measure 1 cup (or a 1/2 cup, as another recipe I came across calls for) if the contents are all separated like that? The solids don't even measure up to a 1/3 cup after I drain it of all the liquid. I'm so confused! Perhaps I'd be better off using the carton version, but I would really like to understand how the canned stuff works because I like the idea of the creamier, thicker smoothie. Could you explain what I'm doing wrong, or what it's supposed to look like? Am I buying the wrong stuff? It's Thai coconut milk, which seems to be a popular brand. Thanks so much! :)

      Hi Sherry, you aren't doing anything wrong. The full-fat coconut milk is more solid because of the fat in the milk. That is what you measure out; rather than the liquid which wouldn't give you that creamy texture we are looking for. Enjoy!

    We always have dates in the house for snacking, I never thought to add them to a smoothie!

    I've had this pinned for a couple months now and finally had a chance to try it. One word: AMAZING!! It is so creamy and not overly sweet and such a nice change from the fruit and veggie smoothies. I added a couple of tbsps of vanilla Greek yogurt and a 1/4 c of almond milk just because I had them on hand. Will definitely be making this again! Thanks so much for the recipe!

    When working with dates, do you de-pit them before putting them in the blender?

      Hi Emily, you remove the pits prior to blending.

    Thanks for sharing this recipe - it was delicious! I made one serving, so just cut the amounts in half...I wasn't sure about the size of a 'small' date, so I used two medjool dates...also, I used four ice cubes for the 1 cup of ice. I didn't add any additional sweetener or the protein powder. It was very clean tasting, and I will definitely be making it again!!!! Thanks again. :)
