3 Secret Tips for the Best Flavor and Consistency

• Frozen bananas and strawberries and fridge cold temperature milk or plant based milk will give you the best consistency and keep your drink nice and cold. Nobody likes a room-temperature smoothie!
• If your smoothie is lacking flavor, try adding some more strawberries, bananas or a natural sweetener such as honey, agave nectar or maple syrup.
• Any kind of milk or plant based drink works. Even if you’re a fan of regular milk, I definitely recommend trying out coconut milk or almond milk for a different kind of kick to your drink!
