Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Milk. Use whole milk, 2%, skim, almond milk, coconut milk, etc.
- Frozen banana. For a thick creamy smoothie - make sure your banana is frozen. If you use a non-frozen banana I suggest adding ½ cup ice to help thicken the smoothie.
- Cocoa powder. Use unsweetened cocoa powder, or you can substitute or just add chocolate protein powder.
- Honey. maple syrup is a great substitute for honey - or you can omit if you like your smoothies a little less sweet.
- Vanilla extract. optional but it adds a great depth of flavor.
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼ cup greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup of greens (spinach, kale, etc),
- 1-2 teaspoons bee pollen
- 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
