I love this smoothie recipe!
Such wonderful flavors in this delicious smoothie! Perfect for a quick breakfast.
This tasted so amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing this super easy to make recipe! Fam really loves it! Will surely have this again! Highly recommended!
I added some milk to help with the thickness, also didn’t have flax. Didn’t seem to affect the flavor at all. Other than that, the flavor was awesome.
I would love to try this, but what would you suggest as a substitute for cream of coconut??
