Ingredients

1 cup coconut milk (canned or fresh)

1 ripe banana, frozen

1 cup vanilla ice cream

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened, for garnish)

A pinch of salt

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker shake)

Instructions

Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the coconut milk, frozen banana, vanilla ice cream, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a handful of ice cubes.

Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is mixed evenly.

Adjust Sweetness: Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup, then blend again.

Serve: Pour the milkshake into tall glasses.

Garnish: Top with shredded coconut for texture and an extra coconut kick. You can also add a slice of banana or a cherry on top for presentation.

Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon, and enjoy the tropical flavors!
