Description

If you are one of our dairy-free Mamas, our sister Vange has got you covered. She can’t drink dairy kefir so she makes coconut kefir. Here is her version of the Yuck Yum Bitty. Only the base ingredients are different. All the add-ons are the same, including proteins, fats, and thickeners, but this will always be an S. Make it the same way as for the original Yuck Yum Bitty. This recipe is found in the "Slimming Sips" section of Trim Healthy Table Cookbook. This is a single or double-serve recipe.

Coconut Yuck Yum Bitty Base
  • 1 cup coconut kefir (Trim Healthy Table, page 460)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder (1 to 2 Tbsp)
  • 1 Tbs TH Baobab Boost Powder (1 to 2 Tbsp) (optional, but preferred - gives Vitamin C and a tart flavor)
  • 1 large handful frozen raspberries (or, frozen or fresh cranberries in season)
    • Yuck Yum Bitty Proteins
  • 1 Yuck Yum Bitty Protein Option (See below for options - pick 1, or pick 2 and halve them)
    • Yuck Yum Bitty Superfood Fats
  • 1 1 Yuck Yum Bitty Superfood Fat Option (See below for options - leave out or pick 1)
    • Yuck Yum Bitty Superfood Spices and Powders
  • 1 1 Yuck Yum Bitty Superfood Spices and Powders Option (See below for options - pick 1 to 3)
    • Yuck Yum Bitty Thickeners
  • 1 Yuck Yum Bitty Thickener Option (See below for options - leave out or pick 1)
Instructions
  1. 1
    If using the chia seeds for thickening, make them ahead of time by putting them in 1 cup water for a few hours or overnight (Serene usually keeps a jar or 2 of this soaked chia in the fridge, ready for Yuck Yum Bitty making). If using gelatin to thicken, dissolve it first in the cold water, stir, and then add the boiled water.
  2. 2
    Place your Coconut Yuck Yum Bitty Base ingredients in a blender and before you “press play,” pick your protein choice, and ask yourself if you want the option of an added superfood fat. Throw those items in along with your choice of superfood spices or powders and blend until creamy. If using gelatin, blend it in at the end. If using chia, stir the gel in after blending; it will create a tapioca pearl–like consistency and is super hydrating and wonderful.
