Frequently asked questions
Dislacimer
Dislacimer
Can I use frozen fruit?
Absolutely! Frozen strawberries and blueberries work perfectly and will make the drink even colder and thicker.
Dislacimer
Can I make a big batch of this?
It's best made fresh, as Vitamin C can degrade over time when exposed to oxygen. You can prep and freeze fruit portions to make blending quicker.
Dislacimer
Is this drink good for skin too?
Yes! The same vitamins and antioxidants (especially Vitamin C for collagen) that support your hair are also fantastic for promoting healthy, glowing skin.
Dislacimer
Can I use a different juice?
Certainly. Pineapple juice is another excellent source of Vitamin C and enzymes. Just be mindful of the overall sugar content.
