Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie base, use less liquid or add more frozen fruit.
  • For extra protein, blend in Greek yogurt, protein powder, or silken tofu.
  • For a nut-free option, skip nut butter and use pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Make it a meal prep option by storing frozen fruit in pre-portioned bags for quick blending.
