Tips and Tricks
The ice cubes bring air bubbles and freshness to any smoothie or milkshake. If you don't believe me, try it with and without them and check it out. If you want to give this recipe a healthy twist, replace some of these ingredients:- Cream cheese for Greek yogurt or Cottage cheese.
- Whole milk for Coconut milk.
- Also, remove the whipped cream and leave the ground cinnamon and the cinnamon stick.
