❤ Making Coconut Ice

Friday, 2 May 2014 / No Comments


Coconut has achieved the status of a superfood due to its high levels of vitamin C, electrolytes, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium and phosphorus.

Hydration is paramount in achieving great skin and due to the balance of minerals, coconut water is an ideal way to rehydrate. Coconut water also assists in alkalising the body and assists in the absorption of nutrients.

This is a great coconut treat for anyday of the year.

Vanilla Coconut Ice

INGREDIENTS:
2 Cups or 480g cashews
1 cup or 240ml of coconut water
1/2 cup or 120g of young coconut flesh (if unavailable use shredded coconut)
4 drops vanilla extract
1/2 cup or 120ml of raw honey or organic agave syrup
pinch of sea salt

METHOD:
Soak cashew nights overnight in filtered water (the longer the soaking time the creamier they will be).
Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Place in a container and freeze. Once frozen, loosen from container by placing in warm water bath. Shave the frozen block into a bowl and consume. You can also add this as a base to any smoothie creation. This is a great healthy dessert for kids as well.

About Coco Belle Magazine
Founded by Leigh Lopez, our Belle team has been working hard to make this magazine a success. Our site has already attracted over 2000 visitor's and it was only launched two months ago ( 6th February, 2014). Coco Belle is a quarterly publication (offered as a free emag at this time.) Since starting COCO BELLE, we have received numerous article submissions, some of which were well written pieces, but for various reason were not included in the final mag. Our team decided to start 'BELLE DAILY' as another forum we can use to publish works that didn't make it to print and for our team to continuously deliver the latest news in assisting you to live a beautiful life. BELLE DAILY is here to provide to you with the resources needed to make that all your own.

We offer tips, tricks, news and how-tos to help you look and feel more beautiful. This site is all about sharing beauty know-how. Whether it’s telling you about a new frock, the latest lipstick color, showing you how to wear a runway hairdo in real life, revealing the tips we snagged from top professionals across varied sectors or bringing you health full recipes we want you to think of us like a trusted friend… who just happens to have a bit of an insider connection.

About the Editor-in-Chief 
I’ve been writing about beauty and luxury lifestyle since the mid-2000s. Other than Editor in Chief of Coco Belle Magazine, I am also Senior Beauty Editor of JusFlair, Previously, I was Beauty and Style Editor of Caribbean Belle Magazine, before that, contributing writer at Newsday Newspaper, and before that I wrote for a number of websites and blogs based in my home country Puerto Rico, and other sites around the globe; India, Australia and USA. and before that, I was probably applying my eye-shadow all wrong.

What all of this means for YOU is that I’ve reviewed boatloads of beauty products; interviewed dozens of beauty experts; and played guinea pig myself by testing every current trend. So I guess you could say I’ve picked up a few things along the way… even though I’m just a regular girl like you.
