Yogurt Smoothie with Vanilla and Coconut

Ingredients:

• 0.5 cups of water
• 0.5 cups honey
• 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
• 2 cups Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon torn fresh mint leaves + mint sprigs for garnish
• Coconut water frozen in an ice cube tray (about half the tray)

Preparation:

1. Combine water, honey, and vanilla bean in a small saucepan. Simmer for 7–9 minutes, stirring occasionally to develop the vanilla flavor. Remove the bean and let the mixture cool completely, about 10–15 minutes.
2. In a blender, combine a little vanilla honey with yogurt, mint, and 0.5 cups of frozen coconut water cubes, or more to achieve the desired consistency. Blend until smooth, then pour into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.
