FAQ

  • Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

    Yes, but the smoothie won't be as thick and cold. You might need to add some ice cubes to achieve the desired consistency.
  • What kind of yogurt should I use?

    Any gluten-free yogurt works, but Greek yogurt provides more protein. Check the label to ensure it is gluten-free.
  • Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

    Smoothies are best consumed immediately after blending. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours, as the texture and flavor may change.
