Ingredients

1 cup Agriko black rice, cooked and cooled
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 frozen banana
½ cup fresh blueberries
2 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp raw honey or agave syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup granola, toasted coconut flakes, and fresh berries for topping
¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions

Rinse 1 cup of Agriko black rice under cold water until the water runs clear, removing any surface starch.
Cook the black rice in 2 cups of water over medium heat for 30 minutes until tender, then drain and spread on a plate to cool completely (or prepare ahead and refrigerate).
In a high-speed blender, combine 1 cup cooled black rice, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 frozen banana, ½ cup blueberries, 2 tbsp almond butter, 1 tbsp honey, ½ tsp vanilla extract, and ¼ tsp sea salt.
Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds until smooth and creamy, with a soft-serve consistency—add more coconut milk if needed for desired thickness.
Divide the smoothie mixture evenly among four bowls, creating a smooth surface for topping.
Arrange toppings artfully on each bowl: granola, toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, and a drizzle of almond butter or honey.
Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy while the base is still creamy and toppings retain their texture.

Chef's Tip

Prepare the black rice the night before and store it in the refrigerator—this saves time in the morning and makes the smoothie even creamier. For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder or Greek yogurt to the blend.
