Instructions

Add the unsweetened coconut milk beverage and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the ripe avocado, unsweetened shredded coconut, and fine sea salt to the blender.
Add the ice cubes on top.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35 to 50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency and, if too thick, blend in 1 to 2 tablespoons additional coconut milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use ripe avocado for the creamiest texture. For a thinner smoothie, add more coconut milk gradually. Shredded coconut can be toasted lightly for additional flavor.
