Christine’s Cooking Tips
- For a thicker bowl, use less plant milk or add a few ice cubes while blending
- For extra protein, sprinkle hemp seeds on top
- For a little more sweetness, add half a banana or a few drops of monk fruit
- If your blender struggles, let the frozen fruit sit out for a minute or two before blending
