Recipe from Paleo Plan

Quick Smoothies

Coconut Fruit Smoothie
¼ to ½ cup coconut water
½ cup berries or cherries
1/3 to ½ cup coconut milk
2 T. almond butter

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. You can add more or less of the liquid ingredients based on how thick you like your smoothies.

Pumpkin Smoothie
½ cup coconut water
½ cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup coconut milk
2 T. almond butter
Cinnamon, nutmeg and/or cloves to taste

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. This makes a fairly thick smoothie, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients to your taste. Also, note that this is not as sweet as a fruit smoothie. You can add some honey depending on your sweet tooth, but that does negate the paleo aspect.
