FAQs

Can I use fresh cauliflower instead of frozen?

Using fresh cauliflower will work but may result in a less cold and thick smoothie. For the best texture, it’s recommended to use frozen cauliflower.

What if I don’t have spirulina powder?

You can omit spirulina, but you’ll miss out on its unique flavor and nutritional benefits. Alternatively, try adding a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost.
