A study of coconut smoothie was carried out to develop this product with enrich of omega -3 and other nutrition like vitamin E and vitamin B6 from walnut; copper, selenium and vitamin K from dates at acceptance level with high fiber. Coconut (Cocus nucifera) is the stone of the drupes borne by the coconut palm. Coconut milk may be considered as a substitute for cow milk. It may be used by the people who are lactose intolerant. Milk smoothie was prepared in laboratory using coconut milk and dry fruits with oats. Different three samples were formulated taking milk, walnut, dates and oats at three different factors through Design of Experiment technique. The interaction effect of all the three T1(80:20), T2(50:50), T3(30:70) samples was studied. Using different interaction coefficient, an equation of omega 3 enriched smoothie formulation was determined. The equation is the model for development of new milk smoothie based product. The chemical analysis of best product showed calcium, protein, omega-3 and fiber enrichment from dates and coconut milk extract. Coconut milk, a generic term for the binary compound extract of the solid coconut reproductive structure, plays a very important role within the cuisines of other product similarly as alternative elements of the planet in good source.
