Expert Tips for the Perfect Smoothie

For a thicker smoothie, use less milk or add a frozen banana.
Adjust the amount of sweetener according to your preference and the sweetness of your dragon fruit and apricots.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk or coconut cream.
Feel free to experiment with other fruits and toppings, like mango, strawberries, or a sprinkle of granola.
