🧊 Frozen vs. Ice: The Texture Showdown
| Frozen Fruit | Ice Cubes | My Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Adds creaminess | Adds water | Frozen wins 9/10 |
| Zero dilution | Melts = sad puddle | Ice only for emergencies |
| Pre-portioned | Needs measuring | Frozen = lazy-girl approved |
Pro tip: Frozen banana = instant milkshake vibes without dairy.
🥄 3-Step Layering Hack (No More Chunks)
- Liquids first – ½ cup almond milk hits the blades like WD-40.
- Soft stuff next – Yogurt, nut butter, or avocado.
- Frozen on top – Fruit + 2–3 ice cubes max.
Blend low → high → low. Chunks begone.
