FAQs

1. What type of berries should I use?

You can use any frozen berries you like—strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or a mix. Mixed frozen berries work especially well.

2. Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Yes, but using frozen berries gives the milkshake a thicker, creamier texture. If using fresh, consider adding a few ice cubes.

3. Is this milkshake healthy?

Yes, it includes fruit, yogurt, and milk with no added sugar, making it a nutritious option for breakfast or a snack.

4. Can I make it dairy-free?

Absolutely. Use plant-based milk like almond or oat, and swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative.

5. Do I need a blender to make this?

A blender or a stick blender is recommended to achieve a smooth texture, but a food processor could work in a pinch.

6. What can I use instead of banana?

You can use mango, avocado, or even cooked sweet potato for a similar creamy consistency.

7. How can I make it more filling?

Add oats, protein powder, chia seeds, or a tablespoon of nut butter to make it more satisfying.

8. Can I prepare the sprinkle glasses in advance?

Yes, you can decorate the glasses a few hours or even a day ahead. Just store them in a cool, dry place.

9. How do I prevent the sprinkles from falling off?

Make sure the chocolate is melted but not too runny and allow it to set slightly before placing the glasses upright.

10. Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Definitely! The sweetness from the banana and berries, plus the fun presentation, make it a hit with kids.
