Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen raspberries

1 cup coconut milk (choose either canned or carton, unsweetened)

1/2 ripe banana

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (feel free to adjust according to taste)

1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

A few ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, for a refreshing finish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. If using a frozen banana, peel it and break it into chunks for easier blending. Measure out each ingredient to streamline the blending process.

    Blend the Smoothie: In a high-powered blender, add the frozen raspberries, coconut milk, banana chunks, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, shredded coconut, and optional chia seeds. For a thicker consistency, toss in a few ice cubes.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture reaches a creamy and smooth texture. If the smoothie feels too thick for your liking, simply add a splash more of coconut milk and blend again until smooth.

        Taste and Adjust: Once blended, taste your smoothie. If you desire more sweetness, add a bit more honey or syrup. Blend for a few more seconds to incorporate any additional sweetener fully.

          Serve: Carefully pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. For an extra touch, sprinkle a little shredded coconut or chia seeds on top and adorn with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately to ensure the smoothie retains its cold and thick texture. Sip and savor the tropical flavors that transport you to paradise!
