- Use unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or oat milk instead of soy milk.
- Add ice cubes to the blender to create a thicker, colder shake.

Can I Freeze Blueberry Protein Shakes?
Yes, you can freeze blueberry shakes. However, it's important to note that the texture may change once it's thawed. I recommend drinking it immediately after blending to maintain the best texture for your blueberry shake.
FAQ
Can frozen blueberries be used?
Yes! The vegan shake will automatically be chilled and thicker with frozen blueberries or a frozen banana. There's a good chance it will be deeper in color, too.
Can I use ice cubes in this shake?
Yes, but I would blend them with the other ingredients. You can add a few ice cubes while blending if you'd like it cold. This is a great option when blueberries are in season.
