Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen raspberries

1 banana, sliced and frozen

1 cup coconut milk (choose either canned or carton for your preference)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or coconut-flavored for an extra tropical touch)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for a nutritional boost)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for an extra depth of flavor)

Fresh raspberries and coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and utensils for a smooth preparation process. If the banana isn't already frozen, slice it and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours or until solid.

    Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen raspberries, frozen banana slices, and coconut milk. If you prefer a creamier smoothie, begin with slightly less coconut milk and add more gradually as needed.

      Incorporate Yogurt and Sweetness: Into the blender, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and chia seeds if you’re using them. For an aromatic twist, also add the vanilla extract.

        Blend Until Smooth: Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, resulting in a creamy and smooth consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to incorporate everything properly.

          Adjust Consistency: Check the texture of the smoothie. If it seems too thick, pour in an additional splash of coconut milk and blend again until you achieve your desired consistency.

            Serve and Garnish: Pour your vibrant smoothie into chilled glasses. For a lovely finishing touch, consider topping each glass with a few fresh raspberries and a light sprinkle of coconut flakes.

              Sip and Enjoy: Dive into your Tropical Bliss Frozen Raspberry Coconut Smoothie immediately while it’s still icy cold and refreshingly delicious!
