Equipment

  • 1 High speed blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup frozen yogurt
  • 1 banana frozen and sliced
  • ½ tsp coconut extract
  • ¼ cup coconut flakes toasted
  • 4 tbs whipped cream optional garnish
  • 2 maraschino cherries optional garnish

Instructions

  • In a blender, add the coconut milk, frozen yogurt, frozen banana and coconut extract. Blend until completely smooth.
  • To garnish, add the optional topping of some whipped cream, add your toasted coconut flakes and a cherry. Serve in a tall glass with a straw and enjoy!
  • Toasted Coconut Instructions: If you have never toasted coconut before, you are in for a treat! Simply add some coconut flakes to a pan at medium heat and watch the edges turn brown and toast. It smells SO good and makes the perfect topping for your smoothie.

Notes

  • If you don’t have coconut extract on hand, you can omit it. Add some coconut flakes to your smoothie for extra coconut flavor and a little texture too!
  • If you don’t want to use frozen yogurt in your smoothie, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt for added protein. I really love Greek yogurt in almost every smoothie recipe!
  • If you don’t have milkshake glasses, they are a great option to add to your glassware collection. Perfect for serving milkshakes, homemade floats and smoothies.
