Storage Tips

Leftover smoothie keeps well in a glass jar covered tightly in the refrigerator overnight just stir before drinking for the best texture. For longer storage freeze individual portions in jars or silicone molds thaw gently in the fridge and stir until creamy again.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap in almond milk or oat milk if coconut is not your favorite or skip the yogurt and use extra banana for a dairy free option. For a vegan version sweeten with maple syrup instead of honey or use agave. Any fruit like pineapple or peach goes well if you want a different twist.

Serving Suggestions

Pour into a big glass with a straw or spoon it into a bowl and top with nuts seeds or a scoop of granola for a thicker smoothie bowl. Try it over ice or blend in a handful of spinach for extra greens no one will guess.

Notes

  1. For a lighter version with a tropical flavor, substitute almond-coconut milk blend for lite coconut milk. Use plain Greek yogurt for a less sweet option, adding extra honey if desired. Frozen banana ensures a creamy texture, while room-temperature banana yields a thinner smoothie. Honey can be replaced with pure maple syrup for a vegan option. Store leftovers in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer for up to two months.
