Notes

For extra creaminess, use Greek yogurt or frozen banana. To keep it dairy-free, swap dairy milk for almond or oat milk and use coconut yogurt. Customize your smoothie with add-ins like oats, spinach, or even cocoa for different flavors and nutrition benefits. Prep smoothie bags in advance to save time in the morning! Just blend, pour, and enjoy. Adjust sweetness based on personal preference, starting with a small amount and adding more as needed.
