Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of sugar do I use?
You can use regular granulated sugar or you can choose to use a sugar substitute such as Truvia or another stevia sweetener.

Do I use fresh or frozen strawberries?
I use fresh strawberries that have been cleaned, stem removed and cut into slices. If you use frozen strawberries, just keep in mind, the drink will end up being more like a slushie.

Things to Note:

  • Use different berries in place of the strawberries. You may need to adjust the sugar amount.
  • You can add or take away a tablespoon of sugar to meet your sweetness preference.
  • You can drink this beverage immediately, but it’s best when allowed to chill in the fridge. The flavors really come out that way.
  • Having a solid and powerful blender makes this recipe the best it can be! A better blend makes for a smoother drink!
