FAQ

  • Can I use different types of berries?

    Yes, feel free to use any combination of low-carb berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
  • Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

    It's best to consume the smoothie immediately for the best texture and flavor. However, you can prepare the ingredients in advance and store them in a bag in the freezer until ready to blend.
  • What if I don't have protein powder?

    You can omit the protein powder or substitute it with another source of protein, such as a tablespoon of almond butter or hemp seeds. Keep in mind this will change the nutritional profile.
