Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any plant-based alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Use frozen blueberries for a thicker, colder smoothie without adding ice.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.
- For added nutrition, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds before blending.
- The smoothie is best consumed immediately to enjoy the fresh taste and optimal texture.
