FAQs
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Using frozen fruit helps create a thick, creamy texture without needing ice. If you use fresh fruit, add ice cubes or freeze the fruit beforehand to achieve a similar consistency.
What non-dairy milk works best for this recipe?
Any non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk works well. Choose based on your taste preference or dietary needs.
