    Can substitute coconut milk for coconut water.

    This was a creamy and delicious smoothie. Avocado, Banana, lime juice, chia seeds, coconut milk (I subbed regular), toasted coconut, dates and ice get blended together. Voila! I love the texture avocado adds, and the lime actually adds a nice tart note. This makes a very, very large smoothie. We doubled it, but it was far too much for 2.5 people. I also felt that the amount of liquid was too high in proportion to the other ingredients. I think I'd still double everything else, but maybe just do 2 - 2.5 cups cups of liquid total, instead of 3 1/3. That would have the effect of concentrating the flavor (mmmm coconut), and decreasing the total amount to a level that would be more appropriate for us.

    I'm not sure how I feel about this smoothie; I'm accustomed to fruit based smoothies, and this was is decidedly less sweet (although using riper bananas would add more sweetness) and rather dull in flavor, even with the coconut milk. The chia seeds added a grainy texture I wasn't fond of, so I would probably leave them out. To sweeten it, I added some honey, but I think brightening the flavor with some berries or other bright flavored fruit would make it more to my taste. Update: I mixed the leftover smoothie with some of the peach melba smoothie (from River Cottage Every Day) - much better!

    Great coconut taste (made with coconut water as written). Will make again!
