For a sweeter smoothie, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Experiment with other fruits like mango, pineapple, or strawberries for different flavor variations. Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost after a workout. If you don't have frozen blueberries, you can use fresh blueberries and add more ice. For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
