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.

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.
