Notes
- Frozen Fruit is Key: Make sure the fruit is fully frozen to achieve the perfect icy texture.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the honey or sweetener to suit your taste, but the natural sweetness of the fruit usually suffices.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to swap the fruits for mango, raspberries, or blueberries for a fun twist.
