(can be shared with kids 6+ mos)
Makes 2 servings
1 banana
1 cup frozen mangoes
3/4-1 cup coconut milk (you can substitute almond or cow’s milk)
1/2 cup coconut milk yogurt (you can substitute coconut flavored cow’s milk yogurt or vanilla yogurt)
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon honey
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth using as much milk as you need to get desired consistency. If using chia, sprinkle some seeds on top for garnish.
Note: If sharing with children under 12-months-old skip the honey all together, as it poses a botulism risk to babies. Other than that, this is a wonderful treat to share with beginner eaters. Just keep in mind that it may be cold for very little ones and that they may prefer bites after it has “melted” a bit. Also, do not think of this as a drink for children under 12-months-old. Other than breast milk and/or formula and sips of water, young eaters do not need drinks like juice as a part of their diet. In this case, given that whole foods have been blended together, think of this smoothie as more of a pureed treat.
