Together, these flavours create a coconut smoothie that's packed with nutritional benefits.  

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup fresh or canned lychees 
  • 1 cup coconut milk  
  • 1 ripe banana (optional for extra protein) 
  • ½ cup yogurt  
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup 
  • Ice cubes 

You can easily grab all these ingredients from your local grocery store. 

Instructions to Make Coconut Lychee Smoothie: 

  1. In a kitchen blender, combine the fresh or canned lychees, coconut milk, banana, and greek yogurt (if you’re using it). You can also use a hand blender. 
  1. Blend everything until smooth, adding a few ice cubes to reach your desired consistency. Blend it up using your favourite food processors. 
  1. Pour the smoothie into your favourite glass, sprinkle a few coconut flakes on top, and enjoy!
