Notes

For a thicker, colder smoothie, consider using frozen strawberries and bananas. Peel bananas and slice before freezing. Ensure all fruit is ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor. Add liquids (orange juice, yogurt) to the blender first, followed by softer fruits (banana, strawberries), then firmer ones (kiwi), and finally the honey, cinnamon, and salt. This helps the blades catch and blend efficiently. Taste and adjust honey or orange juice for desired sweetness and consistency.
