🌸 Pro Tips for a Perfect Smoothie
-
Use frozen fruit instead of ice for a creamier texture.
-
Cool matcha first to avoid cooking the fruit.
-
Add seeds or oats for extra thickness and nutrition.

Avoid over-blending — it warms the smoothie and dulls flavor.

For extra chill, freeze your glass before serving.
