What to keep in mind.

- 1For an extra thick, spoonable consistency, use as much frozen fruit as possible and just enough liquid to get the blender going.
- 2Don't have a high-speed blender? Let the frozen fruit thaw for 5-10 minutes before blending to make it easier on your machine.
- 3Feel free to add other toppings like granola, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of almond butter for extra texture and flavor.
- 4To save time in the morning, pre-portion your frozen fruit and protein powder into bags and store them in the freezer.
