Recipe Questions & Answers

→ Can I make this smoothie vegan?

Yes, simply substitute plant-based yogurt for the Greek yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar to taste.

→ What fruits pair best with guava?

Mango, pineapple, and papaya complement guava exceptionally well. Strawberries also work beautifully for a mixed berry variation.

→ Do I need to add ice?

Ice is optional. The frozen fruit naturally creates a thick, frosty texture, but ice can be added if you prefer an even colder, thicker consistency.

→ How long does this keep in the refrigerator?

Best enjoyed immediately while fresh. If storing, keep in an airtight container for up to 24 hours and give it a quick stir or blend before serving.

→ Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

Fresh fruit works but will create a thinner consistency. Add more ice to achieve the desired thickness, or freeze fresh fruit beforehand for better results.

→ How can I make this smoother?

Adding half a banana creates extra creaminess. Blend on high speed for at least 45-60 seconds to ensure everything is completely smooth.
