FAQs
Can I make the smoothie base the night before?
Yes, blend the base ahead of time and refrigerate. Just give it a quick stir and decorate fresh before serving.
What if I don’t have frozen fruit?
You can use fresh fruit with added ice cubes, though the texture may be less creamy. Frozen fruit gives the best thickness.
How can I make this allergy-friendly?
Swap dairy milk for almond, soy, or oat milk, and use coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version. Nut-free granola or seeds make excellent toppings.
