Coconut Green Smoothie
Updated March 04, 2020
Some people get weirded out by green food, but not me. Green is my favorite color and I love green foods! I can’t think of a green food that I don’t like. Well, unless the green food is green because of mold or lots of dye. I like fresh green foods:)
I make green smoothies all of the time. I usually make my standard Green Smoothie recipe, but last week I decided it was time to mix things up. I made a Coconut Green Smoothie and holy moly is it good!
I made the smoothie in our new KitchenAid Green Apple 5 Speed Blender.I LOVE the green color and I love the blender. It makes smoothie making a breeze! And yes, it crushes ice. You don’t even have to shake the blender. It does it all on it’s own. And you won’t find any chunks of spinach in your green smoothie either. The KitchenAid Blender works it’s magic and really makes a SMOOTH smoothie. I love our green machine!
To make the Coconut Green Smoothie, I combined coconut milk, plain Greek yogurt, spinach, a banana, a green apple, unsweetened coconut, and ice in the jar of our blender. I pushed liquify and let the blender go to town!
The results? A dreamy Coconut Green Smoothie. This smoothie is great for breakfast or a snack. I added a pinch of shaved unsweetened coconut to the top of my smoothie for fun! Coconut lovers will go crazy for this easy smoothie!
I shared my smoothie with Caleb and he loved it! Gotta love the green mustache! I guess the little pea likes green foods too! Yay!

My blender is about 25 years old and still going but a new one would be much nicer and probably make everything smoother.

Strawberry Banana!

How inspired is adding coconut to my favorite smoothie ingredients? What a great idea! My usual is spinach, banana, Granny Smith apple, arugula, and sometimes cucumber slices, maybe a mushroom or two, and/or a few strawberries. Thanks, Maria!
I love all green foods! Not weirded out one bit by them! This smoothie sounds awesome and what a fun giveaway!

Love that green mustache on Caleb. Now I have to get to trying spinach in a smoothie!
I love most fruit smoothies esp. blueberry-lemon but any berry type usually ok as long as not too sweet. Not that ambitious yet to try the veggie type.
could use a new blender.
I love yogurt & berry smoothies
Matching blender & smoothies – cute!
haha aw caleb is so cute!! i love the combination you used in this smoothie! coconut and green is such a lovely combo that i’ve never thought to do!
Can’t wait to try the smoothie….looks yummy! I love the green blender!!
Fruit smoothies – anything with strawberries and I’m all in!

Could Caleb be ANY cuter!!!? This looks so great Maria- I love coconut in anything- I am all over this smoothie!
We love blueberries, handful assorted frozen fruit, banana, oatmeal, dollop of coconut oil, yogurt blended into a smoothie.
That is like the cutest picture ever! The smoothie mustache is just adorable!
That little picture of Caleb!!! Adorable! Yummy smoothie 🙂
Caleb is the perfect little model.
I love the blender and the recipe. I do a spinach smoothie when it’s growing widely in the garden, but never thought to add coconut which is crazy because I’m coconut crazy. Thanks for the suggestion!
All my favorite foods, in “1” blender. How easy is that!!!!!
Yummy can’t wait to try this!

Sounds really good! Pinning this for inspiration.
Strawberry banana is my fave!
I love that green color – so pretty. What a coincidence too that it would look absolutely perfect in my kitchen ; )
I love to just dump everything that is fruity, juicy, yogurty into a blender with some ice, a little raw honey, and a touch of vanilla. Smoothie goodness! Oh, yeah, and some babyfood of veggies I don’t like.
LOVE smoothies and I am not afraid of green ones! The blender looks amazing. I am a proud owner of Kitchen Aid appliances (not a blender, though!).
Caleb is simply adorable! And I ADORE green and green smoothie both!
I love green monster smoothies!
I made the smoothie for lunch and it was delicious!!
Love the smoothie and the blender!! I am loving the green color these days!! Plans of using it for my patio decor and my bathroom redo! 🙂

A perfect ‘Earth Day’ smoothie; green and so good!
My favorite green smoothie is with spinach, honey, banana, strawberry and flax seeds.
I like strawberry banana smoothies!
Have never made a smoothing, but would love to try with this blender!
Gosh, I haven’t made one for a long time. (Since my blender broke!) I used to make one with fresh blueberries, almonds & ice. It was fabulous. I used some protein powder in it as well.

Sounds great! Haven’t tried green smoothies yet, but this won me over!
Would love to own this blender 🙂 I drink protein shakes daily, but this smoothie recipe sounds awesome!

I have been on a smoothie kick lately and I love my Crystal Blue Kitchen Aid blender – it’s a champ!! I’ll have to try this one, cause there is no such thing as too much coconut!
Great giveaway!! Love the discription that you will not find chunks of Spinach. ;o) Need a blender that will do that!
My kitchen would make a great home for the pretty blender …mine broke and we are craving smoothies!
I am going to try this. Green is my favorite color too!!!!!!!!!!!! It sounds great. That color is simply awesome!!!! Great to be a part of your wonderful site and LOVE your name!!!
I’d love to win this so I can continue to make AWESOME SMOOTHIES! My blender recently broke : ( . Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
I’m having a week of smoothies to play around with silk soymilk and I love the idea of adding coconut into my green smoothie! Sounds so tasty!

Green is my favorite color and I desperately need a blender.
Your smoothie recipe looks awesome and so does the blender.
Looks super yummy. We make a spinach one with mango and pineapple. Ma new blender would be awesome, as my took ours!
great color!
green smoothie in a green blender. I love it!
I have been wanting to try a green smoothie and this looks perfect. One question, is it canned coconut milk or out of the carton? Thanks!
Please, please, please, pick me!!!
Pineapple, banana, orange smoothies for me.
I live this blender, it’s color and the recipe. My blender is a cheap big box store machine which I have been forced to exchange for a new one every couple of months as motor burns out. We love our morning smoothies, and evening cocktails.
Love the green blender and use spinach in my smoothies but have never tried coconut milk. Will definitely try this recipe!
This sounds like an amazing smoothie!! I love the coconut milk, and I’m obsessed with green smoothies!
Daughter’s blender just fell apart, this would be amazing to win for her! He boys love green smoothies already,this sounds yummy
I would really love to have this blender … lime green is my absolute favorite color … most of my kitchen gadgets are all in this color.
Favorite smoothie at the moment is apple, kale, banana plus milk or almond milk, plain Fage yogurt, little bit of almond butter. Delicious! That blender matches my kitchen…we’d be a great fit! 🙂
any smoothie with bananas are my fav!
Caleb is adorable! Love strawberry banana smoothies…makes me look forward to some refreshing summer smoothies!
Great looking smoothy and it sounds tasty, too! The KitchenAid blender is so pretty! Oh, to have a blender to make smoothies with! Love your blog.
I absolutely adore his little face 🙂 Miss y’all!
This looks and sounds amazing!!! Loving the green blender, too!
Great smoothie recipe!!
I have to be really careful with “green” I take blood thinners and not allowed to have any vitamin K products (but I do anyway)
I love a smoothie with tropical flavors and pretty much any smoothie involving banana and peanut butter.
Blenders are a must in the kitchen today-and my cheapie has gone ka-put! Soooo, need to win this one.
Such a healthy smoothie and I love that it matches your blender 🙂
Wow this looks great..just started liking cocanut
Yum!!! That smoothie looks delicious and I LOVE that green KitchenAid blenders!
I love green smoothies! I have never added apple to my smoothies because I’m afraid my blender won’t chop the apple fine enough, looks like this blender would do the job!
I’ve never seen a cuter smoothie mustache before.
Love this smoothie and this super cute blenda’!
Wonderful color! Smoothie looks great.
Nice!
Love the idea of coconut in a regular green smoothie. This is fresh and lovely!
Yum! I am loving that green color too! And Caleb definitely looks like he loves it 🙂
Okay call me crazy but I am calling my friend to borrow her blender. Does anyone know the recipe that you add cabbage to it really tastes like punch kind of I had it once and it was to die for. I am now thinking I would drink all kinds of things if I had a blender!! I am definitely gonna try this recipe when I get Elizabeth’s blender. She says that it is probably 25 yrs old so hope I don’t blow my house up!! LOL..
I love peanut butter banana smoothies
Love the green blender. Perfect for you peas! 🙂
I love your coconut green smoothie….so refreshing. My favorite smoothie is frozen strawberry, with banana, grapes and arugula.
looks delicious! thanks for the giveaway:)
I like mixed berry smoothies.
I love smoothies generally. They make a great quick meal, and when they’re healthy they can be very satisfying. Yum!
I love anything in a blender that I can throw spinach, fruit, chia seeds and oatmeal in.
My favorite color is green, too! The brighter, the better! 😀
And I *LOVE* coconut anything. Gonna try this today! Thanks!
annie in montanie
Very willing to try a green smoothie.
This smoothie looks divine, I will have to try it!
What a beautiful, beautiful blender!!!
Love you recipes. Don’t have time to follow all the blogs I like. But my biggest problem is with American sites and companies who try to lure you with free gifts and giveaways, then in fine print to hidden (linked) terms and conditions say these are for US citizens only. THAT STINKS! I am a Canadian with American cousins. Even many US TV shows acknowledge us as “family” and their offers extend to Canada. You come up here for fishing, hunting, skiing; your companies come up here and take over Canadian companies … But we are almost ALWAYS excluded in your special offers! Why can’t you just say so UP FRONT! Why do we have to search out this information? What’s the big secret?
You’re talking to the wrong crowd. So sorry you don’t have these items in Canada..with the same price tag. Wishing you happier days. Any blender will work. I mostly use a bullet, but there are many different companies that make a bullet-like blender, as in all blenders. I’m sure you can find something to fit your budget. 20 dollars US fir a magic bullet and 10 dollars for a knock-off.. “different brand.” GOOD LUCK..☘
Fabulous recipe and blender!
This is the first green smoothie that I actually want to try. Looks so good!
I love all things green, too! Can’t wait to try this one!! Thank you for sharing!!
I like strawberry and banana smoothies.
Strawberry Banana would be my favorite.
I like strawberry banana
Peanut butter banana with almond milk!
My kids would love this….I make smoothies for us everyday, can’t wait to try this one:))))
Such a pretty color and your little boy is so cute!
This even can be made South Beach Diet Friendly! Tim
yumyumyum! thank you! will be making this soon!
(and in case anyone is interested- just to let you know if you didn’t already- unfortunately chobani uses gmo ingredients. i know lots of people don’t care one way or another about gmos, but i prefer to avoid them as much as possible, so just want to make sure if anyone else does too, then be sure to buy a usda organic or “gmo free verified” brand of greek yogurt.)
Do you use fresh spinach or what kind? I can’t do banana, could pineapple be used and how much?
Yes, fresh spinach. Pineapple would be great!
I love starting my day with green smoothies, kale and spinach are my favorite greens and any fruit except bananas. I usually add Chai or Flax Seeds for the added fiber. Hope you are having a good weekend.
Hi, just wanted to add a tip. I usually freeze my bananas so that when I make my smoothies I don’t have to add ice! I also freeze spinach, kale and grapes to add to smoothies. Love all your recipes. Thanks for sharing them with us!
We do that too! Great tip!
Do you use the canned coconut milk or the boxed?
You can use either!
Une merveilleuse idée que d’ajouter un légume dans un smoothie sucré. Bien souvent, il passe inaperçu…
it was delicious!
This recipe does sound delicious. I do have one complaint, though. Why is it that smoothie recipes rarely come with nutritional information. For me it is important to know protein, Carbs, fat and fiber content but I have a hard time finding a recipe for a smoothie that gives this information.
Smoothie sounds delicious – I could really use a new blender so I could get back to making my smoothies.
This Coconut Green Smoothie is really Great! This looks delicious and I Like it! thanks for share…
May I please share your recipe in my monthly newsletter? Very delicious! Of course crediting you appropriately?
absolutely delicious. I only had honey crisp apples on hand. Excelent!
Tastes simply delicious and nutritious. Thank you for the recipe. Made it this morning my husband and myself loved it. This recipe is so helpful while trying to eat healthy.
