FAQs
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Yes, but frozen gives that thick, smoothie-bowl texture. You can add a few ice cubes to thicken it up if using fresh.
How long does it last?
It’s best eaten right away, but you can freeze the base in jars and thaw slightly before eating.
Is this suitable for kids?
100%! Just skip any added sweeteners and let them choose their favourite fruit toppings.
