Notes

Ingredient Substitution Notes
  • Milk. Any milk variety works well. whole milk, 2%, almond milk, coconut milk, etc.
  • Greek yogurt. Use full-fat plain or vanilla flavored greek yogurt for the best results.
  • Frozen berries. choose your favorite. You can use only one type of berry, a mix, or even a mixed berry blend. Suggestions include but are not limited to: strawberries, blackberries, cherries, raspberries, etc.
  • Frozen Banana. using frozen banana & berries makes the smoothie thick and creamy without adding ice.
  • Honey. if your berries are sweet, you many not need to add the honey. Maple syrup and agave are great substitutes.
  • Spinach. if desired you can add 1 cup of spinach or greens of your choice - just note it will change the smoothie color.
Optional Mix-ins
  • Greens. Add kale, spinach, etc.
  • Protein powder. Adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder is a great choice.
  • Chia seeds.  for some extra protein and fiber, add 1 tablespoon chia seeds and drink the smoothie immediately. 
  • Nut butter. some cashew butter or almond butter (or homemade vanilla almond butter) are great choices.
  • Bee Pollen. I love putting this in my smoothies for flavor and nutrients.
