Let’s Talk About Ingredients

• Guava: Naturally sweet and slightly tangy, guava adds a tropical fruity flavor while packing in vitamin C and fiber. If guava isn’t available, kiwi or papaya work as great substitutes.
• Pomegranate: Juicy and rich in antioxidants, pomegranate gives the smoothie a vibrant color and a refreshing tartness. You can replace it with red grapes or a splash of pomegranate juice if needed.
• Frozen Banana: Brings natural sweetness and a creamy texture, making the smoothie thick and rich. If you don’t have frozen banana, use a fresh one with a few ice cubes or swap with mango for a different flavor.
• Dates: A natural sweetener that adds a caramel-like richness while providing fiber and essential minerals. If you prefer, you can use honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup instead.
• Almond Milk: A dairy-free, nutty-flavored liquid that makes the smoothie smooth and light while adding vitamin E. If you want an alternative, oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk can be used based on your preference.

FAQs

Can I use fresh banana instead of frozen?
Fresh banana works fine, but using a frozen banana gives the smoothie a thicker, creamier texture.

What if I don’t have almond milk?
You can substitute with any plant-based milk like oat or soy milk, though the flavor may slightly differ.

How long can I store the smoothie?
It’s best enjoyed immediately, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 4 hours. Give it a good stir before drinking.
