Blueberry Coconut Smoothie Bowl
4.7(442 ratings)Young Thai coconut meat is the secret to a blueberry bowl that tastes rich without any nuts. It blends into a satin texture and adds a faint tropical sweetness that pairs well with tart berries. Keep the toppings simple, with a fan of banana and a pinch of flakes, and let the colour carry it.
