You’re looking for a new twist on breakfast, what can you say you like variety.

Me too. Try this Young Coconut + Blueberry Smoothie for a little something different in your weekend repertoire. While working with a young coconut takes a wee bit of work, it’s worth the effort. The meat of a young coconut is creamy, fresh and delicious – not to mention the fresh young coconut water is pretty refreshing as well. Not sure where to find a young coconut? Head over to the produce section of your grocery store. They are usually kept in a cooler next to the pre-sliced mixed fruit. Then check out this easy way to open a young coconut and get going on the enjoyment of this creamy morning breakfast smoothie.
