Ingredient Breakdown

How to Make This Coconut Cloud Smoothie
Now, let’s get blending!
Combine Ingredients : In a blender, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon of honey (if using), and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Yes, all at once! So easy!
Tip: Add the liquids at the bottom, this helps the blender mix everything up more smoothly (pun intended!).
Blend Until Smooth : Blend everything on high speed until silky and smooth, about 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. Just keep blending until you achieve that creamy, cloud-like texture.
Thicken Your Smoothie : If you like your smoothies thicker, toss in a handful of ice cubes and blend again until smooth and frosty! Check consistency, and add a little more coconut milk if it’s too thick.
Serve and Enjoy! Pour into a beautiful glass (serving is half the fun!) and enjoy immediately. Top it off with some extra shredded coconut or a sprinkle of chia seeds if you’re feeling fancy!
