Notes & Tips

  • Make it creamier 🥛 → Use Greek yogurt or a frozen banana.
  • Boost the protein 💪 → Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
  • Make it a smoothie bowl 🍓 → Use less liquid for a thicker consistency and top with granola, fresh fruit, and coconut flakes.
  • Vegan & dairy-free 🌱 → Stick with plant-based milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk.
  • Extra hydration 💧 → Swap coconut milk with coconut water for a lighter version.
  • Storage ❄️ → Best consumed fresh, but you can freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray for future smoothies.
