Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • 1 Medjool date (pitted)
  • ½ cup mango
  • 1 ½ cup frozen banana (sliced)

Instructions

  • Put coconut milk, Medjool date, mango, and frozen banana into a blender. Secure lid.
    Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
    Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
  • Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best consistency, be sure to use coconut milk, not coconut water. Coconut milk from a carton is the best choice. Avoid using canned coconut milk, which is too thick.
  • This smoothie can be made with 1 ½ cup frozen mango and ½ fresh banana with the same results.
  • You can substitute the fresh mango with another fruit, like strawberries, papaya, or more banana.
  • If your blender isn’t very powerful, you might need to cut the date into pieces first.
  • Add a small amount of coconut milk if the smoothie is too thick, then blend for 10 seconds.
  • Store leftover smoothie in a glass jar with an airtight lid in the refrigerator. The ingredients might separate over time, so be sure to enjoy it within 1-2 days.
