2 Sevings
Ingredients
- 250 mL (1 cup) coconut water
- 175 mL (¾ cup) vanilla Greek yogurt
- 125 mL (½ cup) mashed mango or juice
- About 125 mL (½ cup) crushed ice
- 1 small banana
- Pineapple quarters, for garnish
Reduce coconut water, yogurt, mango mashed, ice cream and banana to a smooth mashed mashed mixture. Pour into glasses and decorate pineapple quarters.
How to
To extract water from a fresh coconut:
Bake the coconut for 15 to 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C). The shell will split and be much easier to handle. Let cool completely.
Using a clean screwdriver or steel skewer, poke two holes in the softened areas of the coconut. Drip water through one of the holes. Pour into a container. Strain before use.
Break the coconut with a hammer. Remove the flesh from the husk with a paring knife.
Tips
If this smoothie is a little too sweet for your taste, replace the vanilla yogurt with plain yogurt. You don’t have mango juice or puree
