Notes

Coconut “cream” is the thick, non-watery component of canned coconut milk. To get coconut cream, you first need to refrigerate the can of coconut milk for 5 hours or freeze for 30 minutes. Once the can is cold, remove the top and carefully spoon out the thick “cream” from the top, leaving the watery liquid behind. Use the thick “cream” for the smoothie.
