Recipe Variations And Smoothie Notes

You can adjust the recipe easily. Whether you want to make it more nutrient-dense or swap a few ingredients, I have options for you below:

• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein. I love using unsweetened protein powders in my smoothies.
• Nut-Free: Swap the peanut butter for 1/3 avocado or sun butter, and the almond milk for oat or soy milk.
• No Oats: Swap the oats for chia or flaxseeds. 
• The Apple: I recommend that you use a sweet red apple, but you can also try using other apple varieties. Feel free to also try my breakfast apple yogurt smoothie recipe!
