5. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

Notes
Use Frozen Fruit – It gives a thicker, creamier texture without watering it down.
Balance Flavors – Add lime juice for a tart contrast to the sweet fruit.
Go Dairy-Free – Swap yogurt for plant-based options like almond or coconut yogurt.
Boost Nutrition – Add spinach, protein powder, or oats for a meal replacement.
Make a Smoothie Bowl – Use less liquid and top with granola, seeds, and fruit.
