Instructions

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

Tips

For a thicker smoothie, freeze the coconut milk in ice cube trays and use these instead of regular ice cubes. You can substitute frozen raspberries for strawberries for a tart variation.
