❓ Q&A Section

Q: Can I use frozen blueberries?
A: Yes! Frozen blueberries work perfectly and also make the smoothie cold and thick without needing ice.

Q: Is almond milk necessary?
A: No, you can substitute with regular milk, oat milk, soy milk, or even coconut milk according to your preference.

Q: How can I make it more filling for breakfast?
A: Add 2 tablespoons of oats or 1 tablespoon of chia seeds before blending. This adds fiber and keeps you full longer.

A: Smoothies taste best fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Shake well before drinking.

Q: Is this smoothie good for weight management?
A: Absolutely! It’s naturally sweetened with fruits, low in added sugar (especially if you skip honey), and packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins.
