FAQs
Can I prepare this ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the smoothie base in advance and freeze it in portions.
Is it possible to make this without a high-speed blender?
Yes, just allow the fruit to thaw slightly or add a splash more milk to ease blending.
Can I add protein?
Absolutely — blend in a scoop of plant-based protein powder or Greek yogurt (if not vegan).
Are there alternatives to coconut milk?
Yes, use almond milk, oat milk, or even orange juice for a different flavor.
Can I use fresh instead of frozen fruit?
Yes, but add a few ice cubes to keep the bowl cold and thick.
