- Sweetener– There are several different sweeteners that you can use, sugar, raw honey, Stevia, or any other sweetener.
- Vanilla– Vanilla extract is for extra flavor!
- Mint– We love adding fresh mint to the smoothie for that kick of minty fresh flavor but it can be left out completely.
- Ice– If you like your smoothie cold, then add a couple of ice cubes into the blender. We like adding ice if your fruit is fresh.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-
Yes, you can. Just substitute the yogurt with dairy-free options.
There is more fruit than liquid, just add a splash of liquid, such as milk, juice, or just water. Continue until you reach the perfect consistency desired.
When you use frozen fruit and add ice, the ingredients tend to get stuck in the blades. Move around the fruit and blend again.
