    Tips on How to Make Coconut Smoothie:

    • When blending, make sure to place the hardest ingredient near the blade. Ice cubes are usually the hardest to liquify so put in at the bottom, where the blade is.
    • Serve the smoothie immediately or keep in a container and freeze. Thaw at room temperature when you are about to serve.
    • You can freeze the Coconut Smoothie after blending and blend again when you are ready to serve.
    • If you do not have soy milk, you can use almond milk or cashew milk

    Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:
