Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter juice, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup. If you don't have fresh strawberries, frozen ones work well too. You can also substitute apple juice with white grape juice for a different flavor profile. Make sure to use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and creaminess. To achieve a thicker consistency, add some yogurt or coconut cream.
