Tips & Variations

• Add a splash of rum for an adult version of this tropical favorite.
• Include a handful of spinach for a green twist without altering the flavor significantly.

Storage

It’s best to enjoy this smoothie fresh for the best flavor and texture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well and add a little extra coconut milk before drinking, as it may separate. Re-blending is ideal over reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use canned coconut milk?

Yes, canned coconut milk works well, but for a lighter smoothie, use the thinner coconut milk found in cartons.

Can I make this smoothie in advance?

While it’s best fresh, you can prepare it a few hours ahead and keep it refrigerated. Just give it a quick stir or re-blend before serving to restore the creamy texture.
