Instructions

Add the coconut milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen blackberries and shredded coconut.
Add the ice cubes and a pinch of fine sea salt.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then add 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional coconut milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen blackberries if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use unsweetened coconut milk for a lighter, less sweet taste. For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of coconut yogurt or banana.
