Total time is about 10 minutes (10 min prep + 0 min cook). Most home bartenders find this fits a single afternoon; scale up the batch for parties or pitchers.
How do I store leftover Banana-Guava Tiki Smoothie Bowl with Toasted Coconut?
Refrigerate any leftover banana-guava tiki smoothie bowl with toasted coconut in a sealed pitcher or jar for up to 3–4 days. Do not reheat — drinks are served chilled.
