Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream (canned, well-stirred)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (toasted)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
  • Fresh strawberry slices (optional, for garnish)
  • Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Hull strawberries and slice banana. If using frozen berries, let them thaw for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat a small skillet over medium-low. Add shredded coconut and stir for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a blender, combine strawberries, banana, almond milk or coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
  4. In a small bowl, mix coconut milk or cream, Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt), toasted shredded coconut, and honey or agave. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
  5. Pour strawberry smoothie base into tall glasses, filling about 2/3 full. Spoon coconut mixture on top.
  6. Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the coconut mixture through the strawberry base to create ribbons. Do not overmix.
  7. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top. Add fresh strawberry slices and mint leaves if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while cold and swirled. For a thicker smoothie, freeze glasses for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For vegan, use coconut yogurt and agave or maple syrup. Adjust sweetness to taste depending on strawberries. Toast coconut carefully—it burns quickly. For thicker smoothies, use frozen berries and coconut cream. Swirl just before serving for best visual effect. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen in popsicle molds.
