Instructions
- Add the unsweetened coconut milk beverage to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, old-fashioned rolled oats, and pure vanilla extract.
- Add the ice cubes and the fine sea salt.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
- Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) additional coconut milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce (480 ml) glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not instant oats, for better texture. Refrigerate extra coconut milk for a creamier smoothie if needed.
