FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen strawberries work well and will make the smoothie colder and thicker. Just reduce or omit ice cubes if using frozen fruit.

Is it possible to make this smoothie dairy-free?

Absolutely. Substitute the bio-yogurt and skimmed milk with plant-based alternatives like soy or coconut yogurt and almond or oat milk.
