Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
Thickness- To make your smoothie thicker, use frozen fruits, add yogurt or a banana, or include ingredients like oats or chia seeds. These options create a rich, creamy consistency without needing ice cream or heavy ingredients
Liquids- Common liquids for smoothies include almond milk, coconut water, regular milk, or fruit juice. For a lower-calorie option, water or unsweetened plant-based milk are great choices, depending on your desired flavor and texture.
Storage- You can make smoothies ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking, as ingredients may separate over time.
