Coconut without thickeners)

14 ice cubes (optional)

Combine all ingredients and blend to desired consistency. Variation: Leave out the ice cubes, and freeze malt into pops.

After blending you can also add as a topping: 1 tbl spoon each of ground (I use a coffee grinder) flax seeds,sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, Chia seeds and one or two of each of the following nuts: Almonds, Brazil, Macadamia, Walnut, Hazelnut etc.1 tbls of psyllium husks can be added to thicken up the shake. Sometimes I also add as a topping 1/2 of a lemon (with skin) and 2 tablespoons of olive oil blended together.
