Pro Tips for the Best Results
✅ Choose Ripe Fruits:
Ripe papaya and bananas offer the best flavor and texture—avoid unripe ones which may taste bitter or starchy.
✅ Don’t Overblend:
Overblending can reduce the vibrancy and cause froth. Blend just enough for a creamy consistency.
✅ Use a High-Speed Blender:
A powerful blender ensures everything is fully broken down—no chunks or stringy bits.
