This looks so good! I love the idea of putting sugar around the rim!
Thank you 🙂
I’ve come to love coconut milk. I use it in my coffee. I will definitely have to try this out.
I never thought of adding coconut milk in my coffee but it sure sounds good 🙂
Looks delicious and easy. I may have to give it a try…thanks!
It is so refreshing and light!
Yum! I can’t believe I’ve never used coconut milk in a smoothie before! Thanks for this lightbulb moment!! 🙂
You are most welcome 🙂
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!
Hope you enjoy it! With this hot weather it’s badly needed 🙂
