Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
- Almond milk. Substitute any milk you'd prefer in this recipe - dairy milk, coconut milk, oat milk etc.
- Honey. If you like your smoothies a bit more tart you can omit the honey. I have found that in order for my kids to love smoothies I need to add at least 1 TBS of honey. Use maple syrup for a vegan version.
- Spinach. Any leafy greens work well in this recipe! I suggest spinach and kale.
