Inspired by Vietnam and its Vietnamese coffee which often uses coconut milk or cream to make Vietnamese coconut coffee, this smoothie version is just as good as the original.
As always, I like to keep my recipes as simple as possible, and with that in mind, I was able to create this delicious coconut milk coffee smoothie using unsweetened coconut milk, sweetener, ice, and an Instant Coffee pour-over. Simple and easy!
