Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Milk. use your favorite milk - whole milk, 2%, coconut milk, almond milk, etc.
- Vanilla Greek yogurt. use your favorite yogurt! I suggest full-fat for the best results.
- Apple. use your favorite apple variety. I suggest pink lady, Honeycrisp or gala.
- Frozen Banana. Adding frozen banana to smoothies is the best way to sweeten and impart a smooth texture. Using frozen banana instead of ice ensures the flavor isn't watered down.
- Vanilla extract. vanilla beans or paste work well too.
- Maple Syrup. Adds a rich fall flavor - honey is a good substitution.
