Shredded Coconut. Buy here.

Tropical Traditions 100% natural Shredded Coconut, Coconut Flakes, and Coconut Chips are made from organic dried coconuts in the Philippines that are grown with no fertilizers or pesticides. This premium dried coconut contains no additives or preservatives, and is not sweetened. Unlike most dried coconut on the market, our dried coconut products are not treated with sulfites to keep them white.

They are a great addition to recipes and baking, or just for snacks! Note: The Shredded Coconut is a very small cut, suitable for baking, such as making macaroons. The Coconut Flakes are a larger shredded coconut cut, perfect for garnishing or toppings, such as the top of a coconut cream pie. The Coconut Chips are a much larger cut that can be used as a snack food. You can mix them with nuts and dried fruit, for example.

Servings: 2
Preparation Time: 5-7 minutes

Blend all ingredients in blender on high. Will have small “chunks” of coconut cream concentrate – to eliminate those and make it perfectly smooth, first heat the Coconut Cream Concentrate and then add it in its melted state to the smoothie, as it’s finishing blending.

Garnish with additional frozen raspberries.
