💡 Tips & Troubleshooting

• Too Thick? Add 1–2 tablespoons of milk at a time and re-blend.

• Too Thin? Add more ice, frozen banana, or a tablespoon of chia seeds.

• Grainy Texture? Blend longer or add liquid first before powders.

• Not Sweet Enough? Add a soaked date for natural sweetness.

• Extra Protein Boost: Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds or Greek yogurt (if dairy).
