Can I use fresh instead of frozen fruit for this smoothie?

Absolutely, although the smoothie will be less thick and icy. You can add a handful of ice cubes to mimic that frosty texture if you’re using fresh fruit.

What’s the best protein powder for this recipe?

The best one is the one you enjoy most! Whey protein, plant-based blends (pea, soy, or rice), or collagen all work well. Choose unflavored for pure fruit taste, or vanilla to boost the sweetness.

Can I make this smoothie ahead and store it for later?

Yes—blend and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, as natural separation can occur.

Is this smoothie suitable for kids?

It’s perfect for kids! If you’re making it for little ones, consider using a kid-friendly protein or leaving out the supplement altogether, and adjust the honey to taste.
