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.
