Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker shake, use frozen fruit instead of fresh. You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a different sweetness profile. If you prefer a dairy-free version, use coconut milk or almond milk and non-dairy yogurt. Feel free to experiment with different fruits, such as blueberries or blackberries, for varied flavors. This shake also pairs wonderfully with Julie'S Deviled Eggs for a refreshing brunch.
Serving Suggestions

This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To restore the shake's creamy texture, give it a quick blend before serving. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the texture and flavor of the shake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of milk in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use any milk of your choice, such as almond, soy, or oat milk. Each type will impart its own flavor. If you're looking for a creamier texture, opt for whole milk or cream. Just be mindful of the sweetness level, as some plant-based milks can be sweeter than regular milk.
What if I don't have honey?
If you don't have honey, you can easily substitute it with maple syrup, agave nectar, or even a sugar substitute if you're looking to reduce calories. Each alternative will bring its own unique flavor to the shake, so choose one that complements your fruit selection.
Can I add protein to this shake?
Yes! To boost the protein content, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt. This will make the shake more filling and great for post-workout recovery. Just blend it in with the other ingredients for a smooth finish.
