A vegan Kiwi Banana Coconut Smoothie – healthy and delicious! Fruity and light – perfect for summer.
Yeayy!! The first Smoothie recipe on Elephantastic Vegan. Can you imagine a vegan food blog without a Smoothie Recipe? Hah, that’s a thing from the past. I’m much more open to drinking smoothies when it’s getting warmer. In winter I don’t really accept them as a meal but when it’s warmer my body is literally craving for some lighter meals/snacks.
So here it is: A Kiwi Banana Coconut Smoothie. It’s so delicious! It’s super fruity, tropical, smooth and good for your body!

Thank you lovely Anu, I'm drinking so many Young Thai Coconuts lately so I have way too much coconut flesh. But it's are a great addition for Smoothies :)

Love the idea of adding kiwi to the blend. I'm sure it gives a nice tart taste to the tropical flavors.

Thank you Linda, I've been feeling rather summer-y and tropical myself lately and I'm sure the Smoothie has supported this mood. :)

So tropical and spotty and sippable!! I sometimes feel bad for not having more smoothie recipes on my blog, because you're right vegan blogs are meant to have smoothies. I'm surprised the color isn't greener from the kiwi, but I'm sure the taste is lovely <3

Hi Natalie, thank you so much for your comment. I don't think every vegan blog needs to have smoothies, I just always felt like something was missing on my blog. I think the smoothie isn't that green because of the banana, maybe it has taken some of the Kiwis' lovely greeness otherwise I don't know :D

Yes! Thanks Cathleen :) It's so weird because it was much warmer a few days ago and now it has gone back to rainy, windy weather. Ughhh... My blogposts are like ice cream, stew, smoothies, rich and decadent indian dishes. So looking forward to a consistent warmer weather :)
