# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a beach vacation without the plane ticket or sunscreen mess
  • The coconut creates this crazy creamy texture that makes you forget its actually good for you
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is actually better here than fresh because it creates that thick, milkshake consistency without watering anything down
  • If you forget to set out the coconut milk and its separated, just shake the can furiously or warm it slightly and it will come back together
03 -
  • Let your blender run a little longer than you think necessary to get that completely smooth texture
  • If youre making this ahead, give it a good stir or quick blend before drinking because the chia seeds will sink to the bottom
