Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen? Yes, but add 1 cup of ice cubes to make the smoothie cold and thick. Frozen fruit gives the best creamy texture.
How do I make it thicker? Use all frozen fruit, add half an avocado, or include 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt. You can also add less liquid.
Can I prep this ahead? Pre-portion the fruit into freezer bags. When ready, just dump in blender with liquids. The blended smoothie is best consumed immediately.
What can I substitute for coconut milk? Almond milk, oat milk, regular milk, or even water works. Coconut milk gives the best tropical flavor and creaminess.
