Ingredients for the Coconut Smoothie Bowl
For the Smoothie

- 1 tbsp almond butter (or another nut butter of choice)
- 1 tsp maple syrup or another sweetener of your choice (optional)
- A pinch of ground vanilla
For the Topping

Instructions
- In a high-powered blender, add the frozen banana, frozen pineapple, coconut milk, plant-based milk, almond butter, maple syrup (if used), and ground vanilla.
