Chef Tips
-
Frozen fruit = creamier texture and chill without extra ice.
-
Extra protein: add a scoop of protein powder or a spoon of nut butter.
-
Flavor boost: a dash of vanilla extract or a squeeze of lemon brightens it up.
-
Make ahead: Freeze pre-portioned fruit; just blend with milk when ready.
