Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes
The smoothie can easily be customized.
I tested a couple of different variations, which I loved.
Here are some tasty variations you could try:
- Sweeter Version: Swap the avocado for 1/2 cup of juicy mango or pineapple.
- Chocolate Flavored: You can either add a tablespoon of cocoa powder or use chocolate protein powder instead.
- Creamier Texture: Add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or coconut cream for an even creamier texture.
- Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle a tablespoon of chopped almonds or walnuts on top of your blended smoothie when you service, for added crunch and nutty flavor.
- Green Power: Incorporate a handful of fresh spinach or kale to boost the smoothie’s nutritional value with extra vitamins, minerals, and fiber, without significantly altering the taste.
