Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes

You can explore some variations of this smoothie that I have tested and enjoyed, should you want to!

Here they are:

1. Nut-Free Smoothie: Swap the almond milk for oat or soy milk, and use sun butter instead of almond butter. Alternatively, you can use oats or chia seeds.
2. Boost The Protein: You can increase the protein content even more if you add a scoop of protein powder.
3. Use Different Fruit: For an even thicker smoothie, you can use banana, mango, or pineapple instead of apple.
4. Boost Nutrition: Add a handful of greens like spinach for extra nutrients without impacting the flavor.

Blender Compatability:

Since the smoothie doesn’t require frozen fruits, except a few cubes of ice, all of my blenders worked with the recipe.

If you have any other type of blender or brand not listed above, let me know if the recipe works with it!
