💡 Tips & Variations
- Thicker smoothie: Toss in half a banana, use less milk or add extra frozen fruit.
- Hidden greens: Toss in a handful of spinach or kale — it won’t change the flavor.
- Smoothie bowl: Top with granola, coconut flakes, or nut butter. Yum!
- Extra protein: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a post-workout boost.
- Make-ahead: Freeze leftovers in adult popsicle molds for a quick, grab-and-go snack, or in toddle popsicle molds for teething.
