Notes
Tips & Tricks 💡
- Sweetness Check 🍯: Taste before serving. If you like it sweeter, toss in a little honey or extra banana.
- Banana Substitution 🍌: No banana on hand? Sub with half an avocado or a few frozen peaches.
- Thin It Out 💦: Prefer a lighter drink? Add a splash of coconut water, plain water, or orange juice.
- Freeze Your Fruit ❄️: Ensures a frosty texture without needing ice (which can dilute the flavor).
- Protein Boost 💪: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or Greek yogurt if you want to make this a meal replacement.
- Berry Tropical 🍓: Swap half the pineapple for frozen strawberries or raspberries.
- Green Goddess 🌱: Throw in a handful of spinach or kale—you’ll hardly taste the greens!
- Zesty Lime Kick 🍈: Add the juice of half a lime for extra tang.
- Chocolate Lovers 🍫: Mix in 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and top with coconut flakes for a choco-tropical twist.
