Toasted Coconut Smoothie image

Treat yourself to this rich and creamy vegan smoothie. Bonus: a full serving of heart-healthy flaxseed is in there, too!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

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.
