Author: Atkins

Serves: 1 serving

Ingredients

½ cup coconut cream
½ cup red raspberries, plus additional for garnish
4 ounces firm silken tofu
2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (optional; see Sweetener Note below)
⅛ teaspoon coconut extract
3 ice cubes

Instructions

Put the coconut cream, raspberries, tofu, sweetener, and coconut extract in your blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
To remove the raspberry seeds, strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve, and then return it to your blender.
With the blender running, add the ice cubes, one at a time, through the hole in the lid. Continue blending until smooth.
Pour into a tall glass and garnish with more fresh raspberries, if desired.

Notes

Sweetener Note - The original Atkins recipe calls for "sugar substitute". If going this route, be sure to pick a natural option that your body is comfortable with. And if using pure stevia, start with just a pinch of the powder or a few drops of the liquid. It's potent stuff! If you are okay with more traditional sweeteners, honey, agave nectar, coconut sugar, or coconut nectar will be delicious in this smoothie.
