- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add more ice or use less nectar.

FAQs

Yes! By using a nectar that is plant-based and omitting any dairy products, this smoothie can easily be made vegan.
2. What if I don’t have papaya, mango, or guava nectar?
You can substitute it with any other fruit nectar or juice that you like, such as orange or pineapple juice.
3. Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?
