My Recipe Variation Ideas For You & Notes

In case you don’t have some of the ingredients this recipe needs, here are some other options for you:

• If you don’t mind bananas, use bananas instead of mango.
• You can use fresh pineapple if you don’t have frozen, but make sure you add a couple of ice cubes in the blender.
• Coconut water can be hard to find sometimes, so you can use plain water or coconut milk instead
• Instead of peanut butter, you can use almond butter.

Add-Ins:

1. Omega-3s Boost: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra protein, fiber, and omega-3s. 
2. Yogurt: If you are not dairy-free, adding 1/2 cup of thick yogurt will not only make the smoothie creamier but also richer in protein.
3. Make It More Filling: Use 1/2 small avocado for a thicker, more filling smoothie.

Equipment:

This smoothie recipe worked with all my 8 different blenders and models.

If you own a blender not listed above, I am quite confident that it will work with this smoothie.

Dietary:

Do note that the smoothie will only be suitable for a raw vegan diet, if the coconut water used is 100% pure, and the peanut butter is swapped for raw almond butter.
