Who else is summer ready after this awful winter storm that raged across the states recently? I sure am! And what better way to kick off the vibes of summer than with the appropriate drink. I would highly recommend finding that rum extract in your grocery store's baking aisle as it brings this smoothie to a new level, but it tastes just as good without it. The toasted coconut gives it that really coconutty flavor. I could literally drown myself in this treat! Enjoy your virgin cocktail with the peace of mind that you are fueling your body well.

*This is unsweetened coconut milk from the milk isle, DO NOT use canned coconut milk for cooking as it is way more calorie dense and higher in fat.
