🔁 Ingredient Substitution Suggestions:

For a lower sugar, creamier, keto-friendly version.

Oat adds creaminess, coconut adds healthy fats.

Pineapple/Mango → Green apple or cucumber

Keeps it fresh and lighter with less sugar.

Chia Seeds → Hemp seeds or psyllium husk

Great for fiber and omega-3s.

👨‍🍳 Technique Tips:

Use cold ingredients to enhance the crisp, refreshing texture.

Blend leafy greens first with the liquid for a smoother result before adding frozen items.

Ceremonial-grade matcha gives the best color and taste—don't settle for culinary grade.

Add adaptogens like ashwagandha or maca if you're making a wellness version.

For extra creaminess, include a spoonful of coconut yogurt or nut butter.
