FAQ
Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen ones?
Yes, but using frozen berries makes the smoothie thicker and colder. If using fresh berries, consider adding a few ice cubes.
What can I use instead of moringa powder?
You can skip it or substitute it with spirulina or wheatgrass powder if you have those on hand.
