Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any type of instant coffee for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any type of instant coffee for this recipe. However, for the best results and to achieve a bold coffee flavor, I recommend using a strong roast such as French or Italian. These bold roasts will enhance the flavor of the coconut coffee smoothie, providing a rich and robust taste.
Can I use sweetened coconut milk instead of unsweetened?
Yes, you can use sweetened coconut milk instead of unsweetened in this recipe. However, since sweetened coconut milk already contains added sweetener, it's advisable to reduce the amount of additional sweetener used in the recipe to avoid making the smoothie overly sweet.
Can I use decaffeinated coffee instead of regular instant coffee?
Yes, you can absolutely use decaffeinated coffee instead of regular instant coffee in this recipe.
Storage Tips
It’s best to enjoy right after making it for the freshest taste and texture. However, if you have leftovers, you can slow down the melting process by placing it in the fridge.
