Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes
I have been making this smoothie for over a year now, and I love changing it up every time I make it again.
Some changes I tested didn’t quite work, but others worked a treat!
Below I will leave some of the variations that I have loved:
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of chocolate protein-protein for more protein and extra chocolate flavor!
- Greens: Throw a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients.
- Nut-Free: Swap the peanut butter for chia seeds, and the almond milk for oat or soy.
- Sweeter: Sweeten the smoothie by adding 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey.
- Cacao To Cocoa: Swap the cacao powder for cocoa powder instead.
Recipe Equipment:
The smoothie is quite thick and contains frozen fruit, which means you will need a powerful blender to make this smoothie.
However, a Nutribullet 600 is a cheap high-speed blender that works with most of my recipes.
