Notes

You can buy coconut already toasted. If you can't find, unsweetened shredded coconut is fine. Depending on if you use fresh or frozen banana in your smoothie wild determine how much almond milk you need to puree the mixture. Since it's a smoothie bowl you want it a little thicker than a regular smoothie.
