Notes
- This smoothie can be adapted based on the season. If you can’t find fresh strawberries, feel free to use frozen strawberries.
- To increase the protein content of this smoothie to make it a meal replacement, feel free to add a scoop of your favorite unsweetened protein powder. If you use a vanilla protein powder, leave out the honey. See my list of the best clean protein powders. See why I think Orgain Protein Shakes are not good for you.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled.
- You can use whatever milk you prefer. Any plant based milk will work including coconut milk or regular milk. You can also use orange juice instead of almond milk, if you prefer.
- You can also use peanut butter, cashew butter, or almond butter to add more flavor and thickness.
