Notes
For a thicker consistency, use more frozen blueberries or add ice cubes. Substitute any plant-based milk if DREAM Boosted Coconut is unavailable. Store any leftover smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it’s best enjoyed fresh. Customize the toppings with your favorite seeds or nuts for added texture.
