Description
This 5 minute coconut shake (no ice cream) uses only four ingredients. This coconut milkshake is perfect for a hot summer's day. It is dairy-free, has no refined sugar, and is vegan.
Ingredients
2 small frozen bananas
1 cup of creamy coconut milk (straight from the can for that authentic flavor or coconut milk from a carton)
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
toasted coconut or coconut flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Blend Away Place your frozen bananas into the blender. Now, pour in the coconut milk, followed by the maple syrup and vanilla essence. It's time to blend until smooth.
Taste Test Once blended, take a sneak taste. Are you transported to a tropical paradise? If not, adjust the sweetness or creaminess to suit your preference.
Pour and Serve: Pour it into your favorite glass and garnish with shredded coconut for an extra touch of island charm.
Notes
Use Ripe Bananas: The key to achieving a naturally sweet and creamy shake is using ripe bananas. Look for bananas with speckled skins or ones that are slightly soft to the touch. Ripe bananas offer more sweetness and blend more easily, resulting in a smoother texture.
