Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Milk. Almond milk, whole milk, and 2% milk are all great choices.
- Honey. Maple syrup or agave work well in place of honey.
- Strawberries. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries in this recipe – but I recommend frozen for the thickest, creamiest smoothie.
- Vanilla Greek Yogurt. for the best flavor, use a vanilla yogurt. I use greek but Icelandic is also a good choice. If you use a plain yogurt (not vanilla flavored) you may just need to add more honey to achieve your desired sweetness.
- Lemon juice. this adds a brightness to the smoothie - you can omit it if you prefer.
- Vanilla extract. adds depth of flavor, but can be omitted.
