Because this is a milk-based shake, it is not recommended to use any citrusy fruits. As long as your fruit is ripe and sweet enough, there is no need for any added sugar. For the best results, freeze your fruit at least a day in advance. I purposely buy overly ripe soft fruits, cut them into cubes and then portion them out into sandwich bags. When I am ready to make my shake, I just spill the frozen contents in the blender and add the milk!
