Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut water
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Fresh coconut meat
- 1 medium Frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by preparing all your ingredients to ensure a smooth workflow. Gather everything close to the blender.
In a high-powered blender, add 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk followed by 0.5 cup of unsweetened coconut water.
Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut to the blender.
Next, add 0.5 cup of fresh coconut meat. Ensure the meat is well cleaned and free of the hard shell bits.
Peel a medium-sized frozen banana and add it to the mix. This will help thicken the smoothie naturally and add a hint of sweetness.
Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for extra thickness and nutritional value.
Pour in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the smoothie.
Finally, add about 8 ice cubes to make sure your smoothie is delightfully cold and refreshing.
Secure the lid on the blender and start at a low speed, gradually increasing to a high-speed blend. Blend until all ingredients are smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the smoothie. If you desire more thickness, add a few more ice cubes or additional frozen banana.
Once blended, pour the smoothie into chilled glasses for immediate serving.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top for visual appeal and a coconutty aroma.
