FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of stevia?
Yes, you can substitute stevia with granulated sugar or another sweetener, but adjust the amount to taste since sugar is less sweet by volume.
What is glucomannan and why is it used here?
Glucomannan is a natural thickener derived from konjac root. It helps give the drink a smooth, creamy texture and stabilizes the ingredients when blended.
