Coconut Chapo Plantain Juice

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sweet plantains (yellow/brown)
  • 1 can coconut milk (or coconut water)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 Tb honey (for a vegan version, add preferred alternate sweetener)
  • 1 vanilla bean

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400. Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends, slicing vertically down the middle, and peeling. Place the peeled plantains in an oven-safe dish and roast for 20 minutes to caramelize.
  2. Meanwhile, cut the vanilla bean vertically and scrape out the contents.
  3. Add cooked plantains and water to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard solids.
  4. Rinse out blender, add all ingredients, and blend again until smooth. Store in a sealed container in the fridge. The juice will last about a week!
