Instructions

Add the unsweetened coconut milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana and rolled oats.
Add a pinch of fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until smooth.
Check the consistency. If it's too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional coconut milk; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen banana pieces and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

For a creamier smoothie, substitute half the coconut milk with plain yogurt or coconut yogurt to keep it dairy-free.
