Tasty Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes:
Some tasty recipe variations I have experimented with, which I think you will like include:
- Nut-Free Recipe: Swap the peanut butter for 1/4 avocado or a tablespoon of sunflower seed butter.
- Swap The Seeds: Don’t have flaxseeds or chia seeds? Use oats or simply use an extra tablespoon of nut butter.
- Chocolate Flavored: Incorporate a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey infusion.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra 20-25g of protein.
