Coconut Milk Smoothies

Hey!  A friend recently asked for my coconut milk smoothie recipe, and it made me realize I've never shared it here!  Thanks for the idea, Mon!  Hope you don't mind if I let others in on the concoction as well ;)

This is totally not a precise method, but it is what I do... It fills a whole blender pitcher and is a good amount for our family.  The coconut milk makes it pretty filling, for a smoothie.

Dump in the blender: 
1 can of coconut milk (I use the full fat stuff you can buy with the Asian food at Supertarget for like $1.50)
About 1/4 a can of frozen orange juice concentrate (helps cover up some of the coconut flavor)
Blend.

Then add:
Frozen banana chunks and blend.

Then add frozen strawberries, blending a few at a time. I usually have to stop and stir things around because the pitcher is pretty full. Sometimes I add some water to thin it out a little bit.

(I usually use about equal amounts bananas and strawberries, but you could use whatever you wanted obviously.)

That's it. Enjoy!  I'm sure blueberries and other fruit would be good, too!
