Notes
- Use frozen fruits to create a naturally chilled and thick smoothie without needing ice.
- Non-dairy yogurt and milk options can be substituted with your favorite plant-based alternatives such as oat or soy milk.
- Adjust sweetness to taste depending on your preference and the sweetness of the fruits.
- Adding chia seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 content, making the smoothie more filling and nutritious.
- If you don’t have protein powder, collagen peptides work well or simply omit if desired.
