Smoothie Variations And Recipe Notes:

The beauty of making smoothies at home is that you can customize them exactly how you want!

From swapping ingredients to adding extra ingredients, you can even add additional ingredients.

Experiment on your own, or try my suggestions:

  • Boost With Protein: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for extra protein.
  • Boost With Seeds: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp hearts for extra nutrients.
  • Add Caffeine: Add a shot of cooled espresso or a teaspoon of instant coffee.
  • Swap The Sweetener: You can use honey or agave syrup instead of maple syrup.
  • Swap The Base: Instead of almond milk, you can use any other plant milk you like or have. I prefer using unsweetened though.

Recipe Equipment:

Blender Type Suitability
Nutribullet 600
Vitamix Blender Propel 510
BlendJet 4000mAh x
Ninja Blender BL610
Oster 6640 Blender
Hamilton Beach 58148A Blender
AMZChef Blender 1800 W
Wamife Blender

I recommend that you use a high-speed blender if you can, but a Nutribullet or an Oster can work just fine.
