FAQs
I bought a bag of coconut cubes in the freezer section of Costco. You can also find them at natural foods stores. If you can’t find them, you can make your own by freezing full-fat coconut milk into ice cube trays.
Yes! I have made it using both cara cara oranges and naval oranges.

I’m not in love with coconut, is there a possible replacement?
Yes, you could use frozen avocado chunks. Or, you could use ice cubes and a few tablespoon of hemp seeds to add healthy fat and mouthfeel.
I think I will really enjoy this smoothie. I love coconut, but I have a question about substituting a different form of coconut for the cubes.
I have a beaucoup amount of coconut flakes. These are the pieces that look like thin shavings. Is there a comprable amount I could use, or do I truly need to make a trip to Costco?
Hi Debbie, you can absolutely use the coconut flakes. I would use about 1/4 cup since the flakes are dried. I would also add a few ice cubes to ensure that the smoothie is nice and chilled. Please LMK how it turns out! And, stay well!!!
