Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, but consume within 24 hours. Give it a quick shake or stir as separation is natural.

Is this vegan-friendly?

Simply swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative like almond or coconut yogurt.

Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?

You can, but you will need to add an extra cup of ice to maintain a chilled, thick consistency.
