Blueberry COCONUT SMOOTHIE WITH BAOBAB CARAMEL

The recipe is simple: basically just a bunch of frozen fruit blended together with coconut meat. Instead of plain maple syrup, I make a baobab caramel type thing; it’s actually kinda freaky how it resembles caramel once you stir together the ingredients. Finally, we top it all off with fresh mango and chia seeds, because why not. I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. I definitely recommend pouring extra maple syrup on it. —EvE
