Emily's Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Use frozen fruit instead of ice cubes to achieve a richer, creamier texture without watering down the flavor.
- Taste your drink right after blending or steeping. A tiny pinch of sea salt or squeeze of lemon makes flavors pop!
- Garnish with fresh mint, a citrus wheel, or a chia seed sprinkle to make everyday sips feel like a cafe treat.

Made this yesterday morning and it was so refreshing! The flavor balance is spot on—not too sweet, but naturally delicious. Added this to my weekly rotation.
Super quick and simple ingredients. Used frozen fruit as recommended in the recipe tips and the texture came out perfectly thick and creamy.
