Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use fresh fruits for the best flavor. If ripe fruits are not available, you can use frozen ones for a colder smoothie experience.
- If you want to reduce the sweetness, omit the honey or agave. The natural sugar from the fruits should be enough to balance the flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add fewer ice cubes or no ice at all. Adjust according to your preference.
