Smoothie Tips
Experiment: Don’t hesitate to customize! Add a handful of spinach for some greens, a scoop of protein powder for an energy boost, or a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Pre-Chill Ingredients: If you’re using fresh strawberries, chill them in the refrigerator beforehand for a colder smoothie without relying on too much ice.
Garnish for Style: Dress up your smoothie with a strawberry slice on the rim of the glass or a mint leaf for that extra Insta-worthy look.
