Instructions

Add the kefir to a high-speed blender.
Add the shredded coconut, sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency and blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
