Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time. However, it is best consumed fresh for the best flavor. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator for up to an hour before drinking. Just shake or stir well before serving.

Is there a vegan option for this recipe?

Absolutely! Substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt and use plant-based milk. This ensures that the smoothie remains creamy while catering to vegan preferences.

What can I add for extra protein?

You can boost the protein content by adding nut butter, such as almond butter, or seeds like chia or flaxseed. These options will enhance both the protein and fiber content of the smoothie.

Can I freeze the smoothie?

While the smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze it in an ice cube tray for later use. Blend the frozen cubes with a bit of additional milk to create a thick, creamy smoothie at any time.

How can I improve the sweetness of the smoothie?

If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to add honey or maple syrup to taste. You might also want to include ripe bananas or a splash of vanilla extract for additional sweetness.
