What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?

  • Avoid adding too much liquid, as it can make the smoothie too thin and watery.
  • Avoid over-blending the smoothie, as it can break down the fibers in the fruits and make it too liquidy.
  • Avoid adding too much honey or sweeteners, as the natural sugars from the fruits should provide enough sweetness.
  • Make sure to use frozen fruits to keep the smoothie cold and thick, do not use fresh fruits as they can make it too watery.
  • Do not skip the coconut milk, as it adds a delicious tropical flavor and creaminess to the smoothie.
