Personally, I find the coconut milk in the grocery store's refrigerator aisle is closest to fresh homemade coconut milk.

And some canned coconut milk has a bold nutty flavor which I did not like it. I'm sharing my thoughts. What's your favorite, share with us by commenting in this post.

How to make Coconut milk banana smoothie

We are making the smoothie using raw ingredients without cooking them. So there are more chances of inheriting the natural health benefits of these ingredients.

Like any other smoothie recipe, this creamy coconut smoothie is easier to make. Assemble all the ingredients together, and blend it. It's all done. Let us see the ingredients and their possible substitution now.

Ingredients

Banana. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Especially potassium, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. Banana has natural sugar. So our smoothie does not require any addition of artificial sugars, which is another advantage of banana coconut smoothie.

Select the ripen banana, as these are sweeter and gives a perfect velvety texture to the banana coconut smoothie. The banana that has green shades of color, will not give a creamy texture and has lesser sweetness. The mature yellow banana is the finest.

A frozen banana is also good, and this coconut milk banana smoothie is the best way to use leftover bananas.

Coconut milk. High-Calorie ingredient. You may opt for thin, low-calorie coconut milk if worrying about the calorie content.

Prefer unsweetened coconut milk over the sweetened, to cut down the calories.

If you have changes make your own coconut milk. It's easy and needs a few expert tips.

Chia seeds. My secret of making the smoothie as full-fledged breakfast. These are loaded with antioxidants and fiber. Furthermore, it's a great addition to the texture. Gives an amusing experience in every sip. After tasting you will agree with my statement as well.

Sweetener. The banana is naturally sweet, and hence this smoothie does not require any additional sweetener. But you may add sugar, honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar as well.

The recipe steps

The banana and the coconut milk get mashed up well in any blender. But the high power blender makes the most creamy, silky smoothie that just flows in your mouth.

If it fully ripe banana, most of the work is already done. Any type of blender will do its job successfully.

Slice the banana roughly while adding to the blender jar. This makes the blender easier to blend smoothly and quickly.

Next, add the coconut milk. Pulse until the mixture becomes smooth.

Transfer to tall glasses and sprinkle some chia seeds on the top.

Add ice cubes if preferred and serve.
