Recipe Variations & Tips
I recently made a yogurt orange juice smoothie, but a lot of my followers on TikTok wanted a vegan version with no yogurt.
I started working on a vegan orange juice smoothie recipe, and it came out delicious.
During the development process, I tested out different versions, which perhaps you may like to try?
Here they are:
#1. Change The Fruit
If blueberries aren’t your thing, I suggest that you use pineapple or another type of berry.
Make sure you use frozen fruit though, because it makes the smoothie creamy and thick.
#2. No Banana Version
Many people dislike bananas in their smoothies.
For a banana-free smoothie, swap the bananas for 1/2 cup of mango or pineapple chunks.
#3. Change The Juice
If you don’t have orange juice or simply dislike it, try another type of juice.
I tested pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and apple juice. All these 3 types of juices worked very well.
However, the taste of the smoothie will be altered, depending on the type of juice you use.
