Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie with Coconut Milk
Taste
Creamy and fruity, with sweet strawberries, gentle yogurt tang and a smooth coconut finish.
About this smoothie
Strawberries are the most popular smoothie fruit in many countries, and their sweet, aromatic flavour works especially well with creamy ingredients. They are a good source of vitamin C. Coconut milk adds a tropical aroma and a smooth texture; for a lighter glass use a coconut drink or dilute canned coconut milk with water. Yogurt keeps the balance fresh, and half a banana adds body. A lovely early summer glass for breakfast or as a light dessert.
Bartender tips
In season, use fully red, fragrant strawberries; out of season, frozen ones taste better than pale fresh ones.
Canned coconut milk alone is very rich; dilute it with water for everyday drinking.
Variations
Vegan
Use coconut yogurt instead of natural yogurt.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, they make the smoothie colder and thicker.
Which coconut milk should I use?

Can I prepare it in advance?
It keeps in the fridge for up to 12 hours; stir or shake before drinking.
