How to Make Blueberry Coconut Milk Smoothie

Step 1: Place ingredients in a blender 

• Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. 

2: Blend then adjust 

• Blend on high speed until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding additional coconut milk or ice cubes, if needed.

Step 3: Serve and enjoy

• Pour in a glass or mason jar and enjoy right away!

How to store leftover 

• The smoothie is best served fresh. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight bottle or container in your fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving.
• You can freeze the smoothie and thaw it in the fridge overnight before serving again.

Expert Tips

• You can use almond milk as a substitute for coconut milk. 
• To garnish your smoothie, you can add some chia seeds, oats, coconut flakes, or blueberries.
• Frozen fruit makes the smoothie thick, creamy, and cool, without having to use ice cubes which can water it down. If you use a ripe banana or fresh blueberries, add a handful of ice cubes to make it nice and cool.
• A high-speed blender will result in the smoothest smoothie. If you use a standard blender, blend the blueberries and coconut milk first then add the rest of the ingredients. You may also need to blend for a minute longer.
