How to make a coconut smoothie

Using a butcher knife carefully cut a opening in the top of the young coconut. I usually make 4 cuts in the top essentially cutting a square.

Remove the top!

Filter the coconut water.

Carefully cut the coconut in half.

Using a spoon separate the young coconut meat from the inside of the coconut.

Remove any brown fiberous bits from the young coconut meat.

Put the young coconut meat in a blender.

Pour in the filtered coconut water. Add 5-6 ice cubes. Optionally, if you have frozen pineapple you can add a cup or two.

Add a banana.

Add 2 tablespoons of honey.

Blend for around 30 seconds.

Serve! Mint is optional.
