Notes
Tips for the Best Smoothie
- Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen strawberries and peaches make the smoothie extra thick and creamy without needing ice.
- Balance Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by adding honey, maple syrup, or a ripe banana.
- Boost Nutrition: Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a scoop of protein powder for extra nutrients.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt for a completely dairy-free smoothie.
- Make It Green: Blend in a handful of spinach or kale for a nutrient boost without altering the taste much.
- Storage Tip: Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
