Raspberry puree, homemade coconut yogurt, vanilla protein yogurt, and lime marinated strawberries topped with coconut and fresh mint leaves.
Ingredients
Yogurt layer
  • 2 cups homemade coconut yogurt [recipe below]
Raspberry sauce
  • 1 cup raspberries, puréed
  • 2 teaspoon arrowroot powder, diluted in 2 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
Granola layer
Strawberry topping
Instructions
  1. To make the strawberry topping: mix the apple juice, coconut sugar, lime zest, and lime juice in a medium sized bowl. Add the strawberries and place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  2. To make the raspberry sauce: dilute arrowroot powder with cool water. Set aside. Heat the raspberry purée and lemon juice in a small pot on medium heat, whisking for 2-3 minutes. Add the arrowroot mixture to the raspberry mixture and continue to whisk until boiled. It should get thicker over 2-5 minutes. Once you’ve reached the desired thickness, allow to cool before dividing between two glasses.
  3. Bringing it all together: raspberry sauce should already be at the bottom of your two glasses. Top with yogurt, then granola, strawberries. Repeat once more and top with mint leaves and shredded coconut.
