OMG!  I made this today after coming across lychee fruit at the store.  Then I saw young coconuts.  I also grabbed cactus but that’s for dinner.  Next stop was for ice cream and this puppy was sounding better than a pina colada.  It is not low-calorie or low carb.  But if you were inclined to add say, rum or something to it, it would be healthier than a drink full of added sugar or simple syrup.  I have to go for a walk now, as I drank half the recipe (split it with my husband).
