Photo: Vanilla Bean Coconut Yogurt Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon torn fresh mint leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
- Coconut water, frozen in ice cube tray (approximately 1/2 tray)
Directions
Combine the water, honey and vanilla bean pod in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the vanilla to infuse into the honey. Remove the vanilla pod and allow the mixture to cool completely, about 10 to 15 minutes.
In a blender, combine some of the vanilla honey with the yogurt, mint and 1/2 tray of frozen coconut water cubes, or more for desired consistency. Puree until smooth, then pour into glasses and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.

I loved this. Like a previous poster suggested, coconut milk would probably be an awesome sub for the coconut water. I loved the tartness of the greek yogurt with the sweetness of the honey...such a delicious treat!

Based on the incredible reaction to the taste by Claire on the show, I thought this must be fantastic. I bought everything for it and used up a vanilla bean - and really, really didn't like. In all fairness, I generally don't love yogurt, but felt she really sold this recipe.....I threw it out.
