Orange and Coconut Surprise!

I was wondering what to do with a coconut that had been sitting around for a couple of weeks, then I had a flash of inspiration. ‘Why not blend it with dates?’ I thought. It took a while to get into the thing. My latest technique is to use a corksrew to pierce the hole, then drain it off or use a straw to drink the juice (yummy!). Then I just start hitting it very hard with a heavy old rolling pin and eventually the coconut separates into two. I prize out the mature coconut meat with a large strong spoon.

That’s the hard bit out of the way, now onto something more scrumptious!

Ideally use a high powered blender and add the following into your blender jug. Add in the order shown, otherwise the blender might jam on start up:

* 6 ice cubes.
* Half the meat from a mature coconut
* De-stone and add 6 to 8 Medjoul dates
* Add enough filtered/distilled water to cover the ingredients
* Blend until smooth

I loved it! Others in my family thought it was tasty too. Then I thought, my not add a bit more flavour to it – that’s where the oranges come in. Thankfully I still had half a coconut and plenty of dates.

Orange and Coconut Surprise! – serves 4

Use a high powered blender and add ingredients in the order shown:

* 4 oranges peeled and chopped
* 8 Medjoul dates de-stoned
* Half the meat from a mature coconut
* Enough ice to allow above to blend thoroughly (typically 10 ice cubes)

Wow, this is a big hit, even with my non raw family! I’ll definitely make this one again. It’s like an orange creamy mousse. It’s totally deliciousness and is made from 100% raw goodness.
