Instructions

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

Tips

For extra protein, add a scoop of vegan protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter. Use frozen banana slices for a creamier texture and chill your glass beforehand.
