Kamalaya Coco Loco Smoothie

This recipe comes from my favourite health spa - Kamalaya in Koh Samui Thailand. It's a nourishing grounding smoothie that's high in potassium, calcium, and minerals to support healthy bones and nervous system.Adding a spoonful of Healthy Chef Protein helps repair my body and keeps me energised all morning. Protein increases metabolism as your body requires more energy (calories) to process protein than it does to digest carbs. I also add a spoonful of chia or ground flaxseeds for omega 3 and a pinch of cinnamon that helps to stabilise my blood sugar.
