- Layering Ingredients: Start with room temperature ingredients, followed by powders or seeds, and finally ice or frozen fruits.
- Blending Technique: While blending, pour liquefied coconut oil slowly to integrate smoothly into the mixture.
- Use Ripe Fruits: For natural sweetness and better flavor, use ripe bananas and strawberries.
- Customize to Taste: Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.
