Vietnamese Jackfruit Smoothie

Instructions

1. Prepare the jackfruit
   Remove the fleshy bulbs from the jackfruit, discarding any seeds and tough fibers. Cut the jackfruit flesh into smaller pieces for easier blending. If using canned jackfruit, drain and rinse thoroughly.
2. Blend base ingredients
   In a blender, combine the jackfruit pieces, coconut milk, condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and lime juice. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Add ice and final blend
   Add the crushed ice to the blender and pulse until the mixture is thoroughly combined and reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a splash of cold water or more coconut milk.
4. Taste and adjust
   Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding honey. Blend briefly to incorporate any additions.
5. Serve and garnish
   Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. Top with crushed roasted peanuts and fresh mint leaves for a traditional Vietnamese presentation. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
