Notes
You cab sub the frozen banana for fresh banana, but I recommend adding in a handful of ice and decreasing the amount of liquid by half to make sure it stays nice and thick.
Instead of the espresso coconut water, you can sub for equal parts non-dairy milk and add 2 tsp instant espresso powder, or sub the coconut water for brewed then chilled coffee.
The frozen banana adds a lot of creaminess and sweetness to the recipe, but if you want it just a tad sweeter, you can add in a pitted date or 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
