You don’t do breakfast snacks? You should.
Oh! Guess where I got these childlike straws? I’m sure you don’t even need to guess. Target owns my soul. I swear that they sprinkle pastels and neons and glitter and black and white pillows in the middle of the aisles along with a few mirrored vases and new papyrus cards to entice me further and further into the store. I never grab a cart and then end up dumping my pile o’ crap-I-don’t-need (almost always including straws of some sort) on a shelf while I go back to the front of the store to grab said cart and probably grab a scarf along the way.
At least it’s a good workout.
I don’t care if these straws make me look five or fifty-five (and I can’t really decide either) because they distract me from real life. Need a boost? Put a kid straw in your drink.
- ¾ cup frozen coconut meat, slightly thawed (I find mine at whole foods)
- ½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon coconut extract
- 1½ cups frozen watermelon chunks (I keep mine in the freezer for at least 2 hours+)
- ¼ cup coconut water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- salty lime sugar
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt
- the zest of one lime
- Begin by making the salty lime sugar. Once made, slice the lime and use it to rim the edges of 2 glasses. Dip the glasses in the sugar and coat them thoroughly.
- You can layer the shake however you'd like, but I prefer to start with the coconut so I don't have to wash out the blender (you don't need to anyway, but it will tint the white coconut pink). Add the frozen coconut, milk and extract to a blender and puree until thick and creamy. Pour evenly between two glasses. Add the frozen watermelon, coconut water and honey to the blender (if the lime still has some juice, I'll also squeeze the rest in here) and puree until smooth and frosty. Pour on top of the coconut layer and garnish with limes!
- Note: if you can't find frozen coconut meat, you can freeze young coconut meat or use it raw with a few ice cubes. Instead of either of those, you can swap the coconut meat entirely for a coconut ice cream!
- salty lime sugar
- Combine ingredients together in a bowl and mix with your fingers until the lime zest is evenly spread through the mixture.
