Instructions

  1. Choose 1 base fruit like banana or mango.
  2. Add 1 cup of liquid (almond milk, oat milk, etc.).
  3. Include 1/2 to 1 cup of secondary ingredients (berries, greens, yogurt, oats, etc.).
  4. Optional: Add a teaspoon of seeds, a scoop of nut butter, or protein powder for extra nutrition.
