Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy milk if preferred)
  • 1/3 cup light canned coconut milk (well shaken)
  • 1 frozen ripe banana, sliced
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey, plant-based, or collagen blend)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1–2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2–1 cup ice (adjust for thickness)
  • Optional toppings: crushed graham cracker, toasted coconut flakes, or a dollop of light whipped topping

Method
 

  1. Prep your blender: Add almond milk and light coconut milk first. Liquids at the bottom help the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  2. Add the base: Toss in the frozen banana slices, protein powder, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Sweeten to taste: Add maple syrup or honey if your protein powder isn’t sweet or if you prefer a dessert-level shake.
  4. Ice and blend: Add 1/2 cup of ice and blend on high for 30–45 seconds until creamy. If you want it thicker, add more ice a little at a time.
  5. Taste and adjust: Check sweetness and coconut intensity. For more coconut flavor, add a teaspoon more shredded coconut or an extra splash of coconut milk and blend again.
  6. Serve: Pour into a large glass. Top with crushed graham cracker and a sprinkle of toasted coconut for that classic pie finish.
