Pie in a Cup

This morning I came up with a smoothie recipe that tasted exactly like coconut cream pie! Seriously, it was so yummy!

Coconut Cream Pie in a Cup
all the meat of 1 young coconut
a cup of raw milk
2 T pure maple syrup
tad bit of vanilla
a banana
a scoop of good tasting vanilla protein powder
(if you don't have protein powder, just add a tad more syrup)

Whiz in blender until smooth and enjoy drinking your 'pie'.

We enjoyed this smoothie along with my homemade zuchinni bread (made with honey, coconut oil, vanilla...mmmmm) and fresh cherries for breakfast. Oh, so good!!

And just in case you were wondering what fun it is to have very limited counter space along with lots of kids and no dishwasher while making homemade cinnamon and sugar chips....I'll give you an idea...

Messes like this one occur several times a day...doesn't take much to get my kitchen full of stuff!
