    Can I prepare this smoothie in advance?

    It's best enjoyed immediately to retain its nutritional value and prevent separation. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake well before consuming.

    Can I use fresh fruits instead of frozen?

    Yes, but using frozen fruits gives the smoothie a thicker, colder consistency without needing ice.

    Is this smoothie suitable for kids?

    Absolutely! It's a tasty way to introduce more greens into children's diets.

    How can I make this smoothie more filling?

    Add ingredients like Greek yogurt, nut butter, or oats to increase the protein and fiber content, making it more satiating.

    Make a double batch and freeze any leftover smoothie into healthy popsicles for the kids. Some smoothie flavor combinations separate a bit as they freeze, but my kids and I don’t think that affects the flavor at all.
