Zingy Lime + Coconut Smoothie



I was asked to do a few special posts over at Babble this month on nurturing, and one of my posts included this delicious recipe for a smoothie we make all the time here at home; a Zingy Lime and Coconut Smoothie.  It's zingy because our son came up with the idea to add an extra squeeze of lime juice at the end, which makes for a rather refreshing snappy kind of drink.  It's also fun for him because we pull out the drill for some fresh coconut milk.  Of course you don't have to drill a coconut every time you make it (the one in the carton is just as good) –but it makes for a fun smoothie making experience (especially for boys and some girls)!.  Check out my our recipe here!

Haha, nice. In my side of world (read India) we use a hammer or a big stone to crack open the coconut instead of using the drill. Also, coconut milk is not yet available in cartons here.

I loved the recipie as well as the look. I am definitely trying it soon :)
