Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut plus a little more for garnish (if desired)
1 cup lite coconut milk
1 large banana (frozen (it's easier when you slice the banana before freezing))
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Toast the coconut. Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and spread coconut on a cookie sheet. Place in oven and toast, stirring every couple of minutes, for 5 - 6 minutes, until fragrant and golden. Watch closely! Coconut can turn from perfectly toasty to burned in a matter of moments.
Add 1/4 cup of the toasted coconut plus the remaining ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a glass, sprinkle with a little additional toasted coconut if desired, and serve with a straw.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

For the toasted coconut syrup:
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons honey
For the drink:
6 ounces cold brew
Coconut milk (for serving)

Steps:

Make the toasted coconut syrup:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
Bring toasted coconut, sugar, honey, and 1/2 cup water to a low boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Strain syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl or resealable glass container, pushing down on solids to extract as much syrup as possible. You should have about 1/3 cup.
Make the drink:
Fill a glass with ice and add cold brew. Stir in desired amount of syrup (about 2 Tbsp.) Top with a splash of coconut milk.
Do Ahead
Toasted coconut syrup can be made 7 days ahead; store in an airtight container and chill.

Tips:

For the creamiest smoothie, use frozen bananas that have been peeled and sliced beforehand.
If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute unsweetened almond milk or oat milk.
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an extra boost of protein.
For a thicker smoothie, add more ice or frozen fruit.
For a sweeter smoothie, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Garnish with additional toasted coconut, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Conclusion:

This toasted coconut coffee smoothie is the perfect way to start your day or enjoy as a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy smoothie, give this one a try!
