    FAQ

  • Can I use frozen berries for the smoothie?

    Yes! Using frozen berries is a great option for the smoothie. Frozen berries not only provide a chilled and refreshing texture but also help thicken the smoothie. You can add a variety of frozen berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry blend to create a flavorful and nutritious smoothie.

  • How can I incorporate spinach into the smoothie without affecting the taste too much?

    Spinach is a fantastic addition to the smoothie as it adds nutrients without significantly altering the taste. An easy way to incorporate spinach is by blending a handful of fresh spinach leaves with the other ingredients. The berries and Greek yogurt will help mask any subtle flavors from the spinach, resulting in a delicious and nutritious smoothie.

  • Can I sweeten the smoothie without using additional sugar?

    Absolutely! Instead of adding refined sugar, you can use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or a few pitted dates to sweeten the smoothie. The sweetness from the berries and the tanginess from the Greek yogurt also contribute to the overall taste. Adjust the amount of sweetener according to your preference, keeping in mind the natural sweetness of the berries and yogurt.
