Substitutions
- Ripe banana → Frozen banana (thicker smoothie) or mango (tropical flavor)
- Frozen berries → Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries
- Greek yogurt → Low-fat Greek yogurt, Skyr, or dairy-free yogurt
- Milk → Almond, oat, soy, or any milk you like
- Honey or maple syrup → Skip it, or use dates instead
- Use frozen fruit → makes it thick, cold, and creamy (no ice needed!)
- Skip ice → it waters down the flavor
- Start with less milk → you can always add more later
- Taste first → ripe fruit is often sweet enough
- Adjust texture → keep it thick or thin it out, your choice
