Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
Milk. Any dairy or non-dairy milk can be used with great results. We usually use whole milk or almond milk.
Honey. Maple syrup or agave are good substitutes.
Strawberries. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries in this recipe.
Banana. Make sure the banana is frozen for the best, creamiest results.
Yogurt. Greek yogurt is my preference for its high protein and lower sugar content. I also love Icelandic yogurt because it is thick and creamy. I recommend using a vanilla flavored Greek yogurt for the best taste. If you use a plain variety of yogurt you may need to use more honey to get the sweetness just right!.
Adding SpinachAdding 1 cup of spinach with the fruit, doesn't change the taste or texture of the smoothie - however it does turn the smoothie brown.
Add Protein Powder
If you'd like to add more protein without effecting the flavor at all, I'd recommend adding a scoop of unflavored collagen protein!
To intensify the vanilla flavor you can also add a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder.
How to Thicken the SmoothieThe key to making thick smoothies is using frozen ingredients - in this recupe ue use frozen banana and frozen strawberries for the best results.You can even freeze some cubes of milk to have on hand to use in smoothies.
