How to Make Banana Coconut Cream Pie Smoothie
- Peel and slice 2 ripe bananas. Place them in an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

- Add the frozen banana slices to the blender.
- Blend on high speed until completely smooth and frothy, about 30-60 seconds. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour the smoothie into four glasses.
- Garnish with whipped cream (or vegan whipped cream alternative) and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
