FAQ
Q: Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh
A: Yes, you can use either. Using frozen blueberries is a great option and will result in a thicker, frostier, and colder smoothie without needing to add ice.
Q: What kind of coconut milk is best for this smoothie
A: For the richest and creamiest texture, it is highly recommended to use full-fat, canned coconut milk. Light coconut milk or coconut milk from a carton will result in a thinner consistency.
Q: How can I make this smoothie sweeter
A: If your blueberries are not very sweet, you can easily add a natural sweetener. Try blending in a tablespoon of maple syrup or a soft, pitted date to enhance the sweetness.
Q: Can I add protein to this blueberry coconut smoothie
A: Absolutely. To make this a more filling meal or a post-workout snack, simply add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder before blending.
