- Creamy Texture: The banana and coconut milk blend smoothly to give the smoothie a luscious, creamy texture.
- Dairy-Free & Vegan Option: Using coconut milk or water makes this smoothie dairy-free and vegan-friendly, perfect for those with dietary restrictions or looking for a plant-based treat.
Strawberry Banana Coconut Smoothie Ingredients
- Strawberries – Fresh or frozen, they provide natural sweetness and antioxidants.

- Ice – Helps thicken the smoothie and make it refreshing.
Substitutions And Variations
Here are some of our favorite variations and substitutions. These variations can suit different tastes, dietary needs, or flavor preferences:
Substitutions
- Strawberries: Swap with other berries like raspberries, blueberries, or even mango for a different fruity flavor.
- Banana: Use avocado for creaminess without the sweetness, or swap with a pear or peach for a lighter taste.
- Coconut Milk: Substitute with almond milk, oat milk, or Greek yogurt for a different texture and flavor.
Variations
- Green Smoothie: Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients and a vibrant green color.
- Citrus Twist: Add a splash of orange juice or a squeeze of lemon for a tangy brightness.
- Tropical Blend: Add pineapple or mango for a full-on tropical vibe with an extra burst of sweetness.
Strawberry Banana Coconut Smoothie Tips

- Use small or medium size ice cubes, it will blend faster and better.
- If you want a lighter tasting smoothie, use coconut water instead of coconut milk.
- Instead of sugar go for honey to sweeten the smoothie.

Yum! Love that you added the raw sugar around the rim of the glass. I’ve added soy milk but not coconut milk before so I’m going to give this a try.
I have tried to like soy milk but maybe I should try different brands! But the coconut milk is perfect for smoothies.
This is totally drool-worthy. I’m absolutely making this!
