Let’s Talk About Ingredients

Blueberries
Blueberries are tiny but packed with nutrients. They add a beautiful colour and a natural sweetness to the smoothie. If fresh ones aren’t available, you can always use frozen blueberries.

Strawberries
Strawberries bring a tangy and sweet balance to the smoothie. If you want a more vibrant flavour, use ripe strawberries. You can also replace them with raspberries.

Banana
A banana makes the smoothie thick and creamy while adding natural sweetness. For best results, use sliced frozen banana as it gives a creamy smoothie consistency

Peanuts
Peanuts provide protein, making this smoothie filling and nutritious. If you prefer, you can use peanut butter instead of whole peanuts. Almonds or cashews are good alternatives too.

Almond Milk
Almond milk is light, nutty, and dairy-free, making it a great choice for smoothies. You can also use coconut milk or oat milk for a different flavour.

Honey (Optional)
If you like your smoothie sweeter, add honey. You can also use maple syrup or dates for a natural vegan sweetener.
