Tips:
- Use frozen fruits if you want an extra thick and frosty texture.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or a few dates if desired.

- Add a handful of spinach or kale to boost the nutritional value without significantly altering the taste.
- Blend the ice cubes first for a smoother texture and to avoid large chunks of ice in your smoothie.
