• Customize your smoothie with your family’s favorite fruit, like swapping peaches for mango or strawberries.
• Serve in a chilled glass for an extra layer of cool refreshment.

Storage and Substitutions:

• Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving.
• Substitute chia seeds with flax seeds for a different twist.
• Use greek yogurt instead of protein powder for a creamy texture and added protein.
