Tips & Warnings

• Many people find that they like the orange juice to outshine the other ingredients of the smoothie, so you may want to play with the amount of orange juice you use.
• Many people also like to sprinkle shredded coconut either on top of the smoothie or blended in with the smoothie.
• Though vanilla yogurt can be substituted for plain yogurt, plain works much better with the orange juice.
