Instructions

Add the coconut milk beverage to a high-speed blender.
Add macadamia nuts, ripe banana, unsweetened shredded coconut, honey or maple syrup, fine 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. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.

For a creamier texture, soak the macadamia nuts in water for 30 minutes before blending. You can replace honey or maple syrup with a vegan sweetener to make this smoothie vegan.
