Ingredient Substitutions
Almond milk. You can substitute your favorite non-dairy or regular dairy milk in this recipe with great results.
Zucchini. I used fresh, shredded zucchini in this recipe! if you're not a fan of zucchini, I recommend trying one of these green smoothie recipes instead (here, here, here, or here)!
Spinach. Any greens work well in this recipe! I have used half spinach half kale with great results.
Banana. If you watch the video you will see I didn't add banana to this version that I shot (oops). That was a total mistake when filming this recipe. It still tasted amazing, but I do love the extra sweetness and creaminess the banana adds (especially when it's frozen).
Protein Powder. OrgainVanilla Bean protein powder is my favorite plant-based protein powder. I use it in so many recipes, and it has a permanent home in my pantry. I recommend using the for this recipe! Feel free to substitute your favorite protein powder!
