Method

  1. Gather all ingredients and equipment: a blender, a measuring cup, a large bowl, and a spoon.

  2. Measure 1 cup of 0% Greek yogurt and add it to the blender.

  3. Add 1.5 scoops of vanilla protein powder to the blender.

  4. Measure 1 cup of frozen banana (sliced) and add it to the blender.

  5. Pour a splash (about 2‑3 tbsp) of Fairlife milk into the blender to help the mixture blend smoothly.

  6. Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 30‑45 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Base is completely smooth and creamy. Use the milk to help the frozen banana blend.

  7. Stop the blender, scrape down the sides if needed, and give the blend a quick pulse to ensure no chunks remain.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: No banana chunks remain. Scrape the sides before the final pulse.

  8. Transfer the smooth smoothie base into a wide bowl.

  9. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top, adjusting the amount to your taste.

  10. Scatter fresh raspberries over the coconut, again to taste.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Raspberries are scattered across the coconut topping. Add toppings after transferring the base to the bowl.

  11. Allow the bowl to sit for 1‑2 minutes so the flavors meld and the coconut slightly softens.

  12. Serve immediately, optionally adding a drizzle of honey or a pinch of sea salt if desired.
