Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 1 day—just stir or shake before drinking, as separation is natural. To freeze, pour extra smoothie into silicone ice cube trays and store cubes in a freezer-safe bag. Re-blend with milk when ready to enjoy.

FAQs

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

Yes, but you may need to add ice to chill it and reduce the milk slightly to maintain thickness.

Do I need to peel the mandarins?

Yes, peel them before blending. For the smoothest texture, also remove seeds if present.

Can I use orange juice instead of whole mandarins?

Whole mandarins are best for fiber and nutrients, but juice can be used if that’s what you have on hand.

Can I skip the avocado?

Yes, but the avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats. Replace with more yogurt or banana if desired.

What type of yogurt is best?

Plain Greek yogurt adds protein and tang. Vanilla yogurt will make the smoothie a bit sweeter.

How do I make this smoothie thicker?

Use frozen fruit, less milk, or add a handful of ice cubes.

Add protein powder, hemp seeds, or extra Greek yogurt.
