Limonada is most often translated as “lemonade,” but limes are the best approximation of the Colombian citrus that stars alongside coconut in this barely sweet smoothie. Be sure to pick up unsweetened coconut milk, not cream of coconut, and shake or stir the milk well to incorporate the coconut liquid and cream before measuring.
