    Strawberry Coconut Swirl Shake

    Strawberry Coconut Swirl Shake, Vegan and Gluten-Free, Thick and Creamy - From The Glowing FridgeHappy Monday!

    I wanted to start out the week by sharing a delectable Strawberry Coconut Swirl Shake that I made over the weekend. This sweet pink shake is lusciously creamy and swirly in the best ways. I have been a little burned out with smoothies lately so I changed it up. The result?

    This beautiful swirly pink coconut dream! If you like thick milkshakes, this recipe is for you. It’s hard to think of a fruit that doesn’t taste good with coconut. But strawberries, they will always taste amazing when paired with coconut. I added chia seeds to healthify this shake (healthify is a word right? ha) and they add a nice touch.  

    Strawberry Coconut Swirl Shake, Vegan and Gluten-Free, Thick and Creamy - From The Glowing Fridge

    On Friday night, I had a girl’s night in with my besties, which was very much needed! Then, Marty and I spent the day downtown on Saturday at Oak Street Beach to get a little sun – it was literally the most perfect day to be at the beach. After the beach, we walked around and came across a farmers market in the gold coast where I picked up these sweet strawberries and some donut peaches (yes!) which inspired this yummy shake. I posted them on instagram over the weekend. Donut peaches are too darn cute, I wanted to include them in this recipe but they weren’t ripe yet. I always have cans of coconut milk in the fridge just in case a new recipe calls for it – like this one! And chia seeds are a superfood staple as well. I talk more about my love for chia seeds here. And you can buy my favorite brand of Organic Raw Chia Seeds.

    Description

    A delectably sweet and creamy vegan strawberry coconut milkshake with added chia seeds for superfood power.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    Strawberry Layer

    • 2 cups fresh strawberries (frozen fine too)
    • 1 frozen, sliced banana
    • 1 cup almond milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

    Coconut Layer

    • 1 can light coconut milk
    • 1 frozen, sliced banana

    Instructions

    1. For strawberry layer: In a blender combine strawberries, banana, almond milk and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Add in chia seeds at the end, and pulse a few times just to get them mixed in. We don’t add chia seeds first because they will turn the shake into a jelly-like texture. Pour shake into 2 or 3 cups, filled halfway up for each. Refrigerate for the time being.
    2. Rinse out blender. Add canned coconut milk and the frozen banana and blend until smooth. Remove cups from refrigerator and slowly pour the coconut layer over the strawberry layer. Swoosh around with a spoon or straw to get the swirly effect.
    3. Sip slowly and enjoy!

     I would consider this more of a treat because of it’s sweetness and thickness, but I wouldn’t be mad if you made this for breakfast either. This has way more nutritional value than any fast food milkshake, that’s for sure. Sometimes you just gotta indulge. It’s totally okay 🙂

    Hope you had a fun, relaxing weekend! I can’t believe summer is coming to a close in the next few weeks – I feel like it just started. Right?! I am already starting to think of fall recipes to share with you so get excited for that because I sure am!

    Have a happy, happy Monday. And make this shake for dessert tonight.

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

And definitely my dream come true to be home with her all day. Never missing her much needed cuddle moments. I need her just as much as she needs me. Nothing else matters, really. I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

If you’ve been yearning for something like this, there’s no better time. The holidays are coming!!!

    Are you chasing the new shiny object? There will Are you chasing the new shiny object?

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.

If you love beauty products and have a go-getter attitude, we need to talk!! I want to teach you how to do this.
