Ingredient Breakdown

• Coconut Milk - Creates a rich, creamy base with a subtle tropical flavor. You can use canned coconut milk for a thicker smoothie or carton coconut milk for a lighter option.
• Frozen Blackberries - Provide natural sweetness, a deep berry flavor, and a thick, frosty texture. Frozen fruit is key for a perfectly chilled smoothie.
• Coconut Yogurt - Adds creaminess and a slight tang while keeping the smoothie dairy-free. Regular yogurt or Greek yogurt can be used if you’re not dairy-free.
• Maple Syrup - Adds a touch of natural sweetness. You can substitute with honey or agave if preferred.
• Blackberry Jam - Enhances the berry flavor and adds a hint of sweetness. It’s also used for the optional swirl effect.

How to Make a Blackberry Coconut Smoothie

Step 1: Blend the Smoothie

In a blender, combine coconut milk, frozen blackberries, coconut yogurt, and maple syrup.

Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.

Step 2: Create the Swirl (Optional)

For a café-style presentation, smear a spoonful of coconut yogurt and blackberry jam along the inside of your glass before pouring in the smoothie.

This creates a beautiful layered swirl effect.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

Pour the smoothie into your prepared glass and enjoy immediately while cold and creamy. OPTIONAL: If you don't like the blackberry seeds strain the smoothie through a fine mesh strainer before adding to your glass.
