This smoothie takes me back to summer mornings at the cottage, barefoot in the garden picking fresh strawberries with my siblings. It’s a tropical-meets-country treat, bursting with flavor and packed with nutrients to kick-start your day. Creamy coconut, ripe strawberries, and a hint of natural sweetness make it the perfect blend of comfort and refreshment.
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1/2 banana (for natural sweetness)
1 cup coconut milk (light or full-fat)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for protein)
1 tablespoon shredded coconut
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Ice cubes (about 1 cup, if using fresh fruit)
Add all ingredients to a blender.
Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Pour into a tall glass and top with extra shredded coconut or a strawberry slice.
Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, colder smoothie.
Add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for a longer-lasting energy boost.
Pairs perfectly with a slice of whole-grain toast or a boiled egg for a full breakfast.
