Fat Burning Sweet Berry Shake
Prep
Total
Yield 2 Servings
Ingredients:
- ½ (13½-ounce) can organic full-fat coconut milk
- 2 scoops vanilla-flavored bone broth protein powder
- ¼ cup frozen raspberries or strawberries
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Liquid stevia, to taste
Instructions:
Step #1: Place all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Tip: If you use light coconut milk that comes in a carton instead of canned, I suggest adding 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin coconut oil or coconut butter to add fat.

Dr Jockers Comments:
This recipe is full of healthy medium-chain fatty acids that help to produce ketones and move our body into a state of fat-adaption where we are burning fat as our primary fuel. These MCT’s also help to improve digestive function, thyroid function, stabilize blood sugar levels and balance overall hormones.
Cinnamon helps to stabilize blood sugar. Stable blood sugar is very important for good energy and a fat burning metabolism. Cayenne helps to stimulate metabolism and improves fat burning. Berries such as raspberries and strawberries are low-glycemic and high in antioxidants.
Use a high quality protein such as bone broth protein which is rich in branched chain amino acids that support muscle tissue and increase our fat burning capabilities. If you are whey sensitive than I would suggest using a high quality, pure vegan protein.
I find that the berries and the protein powder provide plenty of great flavor and no stevia is necessary. Try this recipe yourself and let us know how you like it in the comments box below!
Cinnamon must be high histamine as I don’t seem to do well with it. Any other substitute ideas?
You can try nutmeg!
It says 2 servings, all I need is 1 serving, can I reduce the amount of coconut milk an so on, or can the other serving be refrigerated, thank you
Hey Yolanda, Absolutely you can reduce the serving or refrigerate! You may want to add some ice and shake well before you consume the leftover portion. Blessings!
I brought everything I needed now I am confused, the recipe says half a can of coconut milk is 2 serving, I made some an it is deliz, but I’m confused cuz half of can of coconut milk is 1 cup of prepared smoothie I just don’t get it, how is that 2 servings?
Ok doctor sorry I figured it, 1 can makes 2 serving, don’t know how I got so confused thank you
Or 1/2 cup of coconut milk make 2 servings, geez
No problem Yolanda! I hope you enjoy it! Blessings!
Hey Yolanda, I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed it. The can of coconut milk that we used for the recipe contains 5 servings at 1/3 cup. Half a can has about 4/5 of a cup coconut milk. When combined with the additional ingredients the recipe makes about 1.5 cups once blended and about 3/4 cups for each serving. You can definitely use any type of preferred coconut milk but they do have different serving suggestions. Hope that clarifies!
Would collagen powder make a good replacement for the bone broth powder?
Yes you can use collagen powder as well!
