Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
Yes! You can make it and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick stir or shake before drinking, as it may separate a little over time.
Is it safe to use raw egg in a smoothie?
If using fresh, high-quality eggs or a pasteurized egg product, it is considered safe. You can also use a liquid egg substitute to avoid any concerns.
What if I don’t have powdered coffee creamer?
You can leave it out completely, or replace it with a splash of milk or a scoop of vanilla-flavored protein powder for extra flavor.
Can I make this smoothie vegan?
Yes! Swap the milk for plant-based milk, skip the egg and use a vegan-friendly egg replacer or a scoop of protein powder instead. Also, switch out the honey for agave or maple syrup.
How sweet is this smoothie?
It’s lightly sweet, thanks to the strawberries, orange, and honey. If you’re watching sugar intake, start with one tablespoon of honey and adjust from there.
