Make it lighter or richer
- Lighter: replace half the coconut milk with coconut water. See our mango coconut water smoothie for an all-coconut-water version.
- Richer: use thick coconut milk and add a spoon of oats or peanut butter.
- Thicker, bowl-style: use less liquid, as in our berry smoothie bowl.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Quick answers.
Can I use coconut milk instead of dairy milk in a smoothie?
Yes. It makes the smoothie creamy and dairy-free.
Is a coconut milk smoothie high in calories?
Richer than a water-based smoothie, because coconut milk has about 230 kcal per 100 g. Use part coconut water for a lighter drink.
Can I make it ahead?
It is best fresh. Refrigerate for a few hours at most and stir before drinking.
