Frequently asked questions:

WHAT SWEETENERS CAN WE USE TO MAKE SMOOTHIE?

In most of my smoothies I use maple syrup or honey, because they are the most accessible. But you can use any sweetener that you like, such as: agave syrup, stevia, date syrup, sugar or even dates. You can add more or less of the sweetener to control the sweetness.

 WHAT TYPES OF MILK CAN BE USED TO MAKE SMOOTHIES AND SHAKES?

You literally can use any liquid to make smoothies.

Some ideas: Homemade oat milk, homemade almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk, hazelnut milk, water, coffee and more.

WHAT CAN WE ADD TO OAT SMOOTHIES?

You can add almost any fruit that you like, you can add nuts, seeds, nut butter, greens and more. Be creative and try different flavors.
