Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 1 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 1 months
  • Do not reheat. Thaw in the fridge if frozen, then shake or blend again before serving cold.

Ingredient substitutions

Strawberry

  • Frozen strawberry: Use straight from the freezer for a thicker smoothie.

Greek yogurt

  • Milk: The smoothie will be thinner and less tangy.

Vanilla protein

  • Greek yogurt: Use extra yogurt for body, though protein and vanilla flavor will be lower.

Graham cracker

  • Cinnamon: Adds warm dessert flavor but does not replace the crumb texture.

Milk

  • Water: Use only if needed, as the smoothie will taste less creamy.

Ice

  • Frozen strawberry: Makes the smoothie fruitier and slightly thicker.
