Banana Coconut Smoothie (Properly Prepared)

Banana Coconut Smoothie
Yield: 500ml

Ingredients:

1 Frozen Banana (Peeled)
1 Cup Frozen Yogurt (Low Fat if you wish)
3/4 Chilled Coconut Milk (Unsweetened)
1 Tb. Vanilla
Natural Honey (To Taste)


Method:

1) Add all ingredients into the food processor, if you are confident, you can add some honey to blend it in easier, though, I recommend adding the honey afterwards to make sure the flavour is well balanced. Either way, blend for 2 minutes until smooth. (Like a smoothie...)

2) Finesse. If you care about making it a REALLY good smoothie, then do what I like to do and strain the blended mixture in a fine mesh strainer. Use a 1oz. ladle to press the mixture through into a juice container.


*Jerek adding some finesse to the soon-to-be awesome smoothie.


3) Finally, Taste. Always taste everything while cooking. Check for balance. Is it too tart? (add honey), Is it too loose? (add more banana), Too Sweet? (Coconut Milk). Is it awesome yet? (Wicked). Taste the smoothie until you are happy with it.


4) Distribute into glasses, Drink, Do your best to avoid brain-freeze.
