You can experiment with quantities and flavours but I would recommend adding honey (maybe 1T) and a squeeze of lemon juice seems to improve the flavour. I like to use frozen mixed berries and always add at least half a banana as it seems to taste much better with banana IMO. I will always add some yoghurt if I have it also.

why not use orange juice instead of milk?
