This healthy, low-sugar blueberry coconut smoothie bowl tastes like blueberry ice cream but won’t spike your blood sugar and will help keep you full and energize you for hours. Coconut Health Benefits You could make chocolate smoothie bowl smoothie with fresh coconut meat but not everyone may be able to find that in their area so today we’re going to use unsweetened shredded coconut.
If you can get your hands on fresh coconut, definitely go for it. I can usually find fresh coconut meat at my local Whole Foods Market and I’ll often pick up a package and freeze it for use in smoothies. Unsweetened shredded coconut still offers plenty of health benefits so don’t feel like you’re missing out completely if you can’t find fresh coconut. While shredded coconut is composed almost entirely of fat, almost all of which is saturated fat in the form of MCT’s or medium-chain triglycerides, shredded coconut is still associated with many health benefits.
