I have a confession to make, I’m addicted to coconut shreds.
Those sweetened little flakes of goodness don’t last long in my kitchen. It seems every smoothie I make is a perfect candidate for their inclusion, and not just a tablespoon or two, but a good half cup. They add a little gritty, chewy, sweetness that I’ve come to love.
Coconut products are a staple in my smoothies, and diet. In case you aren’t aware of their myriad health benefits, or just need a quick refresher, allow me to highlight this superfood with the following bullet points:
The ultimate combination, chocolate and peanut butter, in a smoothie! I almost named this Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup smoothie, but that doesn’t sound too healthy.

Take your green smoothies to the “minty side” with a little fresh or dried mint. It enhances the flavor and imparts some nice health benefits.

One of the many benefits people experience when consuming healthy smoothies on a regular basis is clear, supple, glowing skin.
