Banana and tender coconut smoothie

Another tender coconut smoothie.

2 bananas
2 tbsp curd/yoghurt
3/4 cup tender coconut
Cocoa powder to taste

Blend all in a blender until smooth. I had some raisins soaking overnight. They were deseeded and added for extra nutritional punch. Garnished with chocolate mocha cocoa powder. This makes for two small servings but is considerably filling.

Fig and tender coconut smoothie

A cup of cut figs - about two whole figs
Half a cup of tender coconut
Half a cup of yogurt
8-10 raisins and sultanas
1 1/2 generous tsp of dry date powder (or almond?)

Blend all in a blender. Add half a teaspoon of sugar if you must. Honey would be a healthy substitute.

The tender coconut and yogurt help cool the body temperature and are excellent for acidity amongst other benefits. The other ingredients are all very nutritious but I am too lazy to list them here.
