Notes
- Use Fresh Fruit: Fresh strawberries, bananas, and pineapple make the best smoothies. However, if fresh fruit isn’t available, frozen fruit works just as well.
- Add a Scoop of Protein: If you want to make this smoothie more filling, add a scoop of protein powder. It’ll keep you full longer and add a boost of nutrients.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you like your smoothie sweeter, add a bit of honey or agave. If you prefer it less sweet, use less fruit or skip the sweeteners altogether.
- Use Coconut Milk for a Tropical Twist: Swap regular milk or yogurt for coconut milk to give your smoothie a true tropical vibe.
- Blend Well: To make the smoothie extra creamy, blend all ingredients on high for a minute or two until it’s smooth and silky.
