Instructions
- Add the unsweetened coconut milk beverage to a high-speed blender.
- Add the shredded coconut and plain Greek yogurt.
- Add the ice cubes, the pinch of fine sea salt, and the vanilla extract.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until smooth.
- Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use canned coconut milk for a richer texture or coconut water for a lighter version. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a small amount of honey or maple syrup.
