Easy Banana and Coconut Smoothie Recipe

Why You Need This in Your Life

You hit snooze twice. You still crave something tropical and healthy. This smoothie solves both problems—fast. I blend one almost every morning, and trust me, it beats sad cereal every time. 🙂

Ingredients You Already Own

(Quantities make one hefty glass. Double if you share—no judgment.)

Stuff	Amount	Superpower
Ripe bananas	2	Natural sugar + velvety texture
Full-fat coconut milk	1 cup	Creamy tropical kick + healthy fats
Coconut water	½ cup	Extra hydration and subtle sweetness
Shredded coconut	2 Tbsp	Crunchy garnish + deeper coconut flavor
Ice cubes	1 cup	Arctic chill in seconds

Pro tip: Spotted bananas bring maximum sweetness. Unripe ones taste meh—wait a day.

Health Perks (a.k.a. Mom’s Approval)

Bananas: Potassium keeps your muscles calm and your heart steady.
Coconut: MCT fats give quick energy and keep hunger gremlins away.
Together they form a snack that fuels workouts, workdays, and random dance breaks.

A tall glass filled with a creamy, light yellow smoothie or drink is prominently displayed on a distressed blue wooden table. The drink is topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of what appears to be coconut flakes, and a wedge of pineapple on the rim. A red and white striped straw is also in the glass. In the blurred background, a beautiful beach scene unfolds with turquoise ocean water, white sand, and palm trees under a bright blue sky. White text overlays the sky, reading "Beach mode". A wooden plate with some fruit slices and scattered coconut flakes are also visible on the table.

Blend It Like You Mean It

Drop bananas, coconut milk, coconut water, ice, and half the shredded coconut into your blender.
Hit TURBO for 30 seconds.
Peek. Too thick? Splash more coconut water. Too thin? Chuck in extra ice.
Pour into your favorite glass. Sprinkle the rest of the shredded coconut on top because you’re fancy like that.

Boom—vacation in a cup.

Quick Fixes & Fun Twists

Swap the milk: Almond, oat, or soy all keep it dairy-free.
Sweet tooth hack: Drizzle honey or maple syrup if your bananas forgot to ripen.
Spice vibes: A pinch of cardamom or cinnamon = instant Sri Lankan café moment.
Go green: Handful of spinach hides in there, adds vitamins, tastes like nothing.
Protein push: One scoop of vanilla protein powder turns this into a post-gym feast.

Why This Beats Store-Bought Smoothies

Zero weird additives. You read every ingredient, because you put it there.
Cost control. Bananas + coconut milk cost less than a chain-store blended drink that pretends to be healthy.
Speed. You finish blending before delivery apps even load.
