Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced

1 cup coconut milk (can use either canned or carton)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (alternatively, use coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness according to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of salt

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (for coating)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Smoothie Base: In a blender, combine the sliced bananas, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

    Set Up for Freezing: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out tablespoon-sized dollops of the smoothie mixture onto the prepared sheet. Gently flatten each dollop into coin shapes, aiming for about 1/2 inch in thickness.

      Coat with Coconut: Place the shredded coconut in a shallow dish. Take each smoothie coin and carefully press one side into the shredded coconut, ensuring it is well-coated. Transfer the coated coins back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

        Freeze the Coins: Once all smoothie coins are shaped and coated, place the baking sheet into the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until the coins are entirely solid.

          Store for Later: After they are fully frozen, carefully transfer the smoothie coins into an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

            Enjoy Anytime: Take out a few smoothie coins whenever you need a quick snack or a refreshing treat. They are delightful straight from the freezer, or you can let them sit for a few minutes to thaw for a creamier texture!

              Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 4 hours (includes freezing) | Servings: Approximately 20 smoothie coins

                - Presentation Tips: Serve the smoothie coins on a colorful plate or in a bowl, adorned with a sprig of mint or a few banana slices for an extra pop of freshness.
