Is this smoothie dairy free?

I chose coconut milk for a wonderfully creamy smoothie! That means this is dairy free as written. Feel free to use any dairy milk or alternative here.

Can I use other fruits in this smoothie?

Yes, you can use whatever frozen fruits you like or have on hand.

Can I use regular milk to increase the protein?

Yes! If you aren't on a dairy-free diet, you can use regular milk which will increase the protein content even more.

Can I use fresh strawberries in this smoothie?

Yes, but you will also need to add about 1 cup of ice to thicken up the smoothie.

Can I use other types of protein powder in this recipe?

Yes, but the nutrition facts may change depending on the type of protein powder you use. You can try a vegan option like my homemade lentil protein powder or I also like using cricket protein powder ! I personally think is homemade protein smoothie is so much healthier and cost-effective than a packaged pre-made protein smoothie like Kachava .

Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled to make more servings.
If you aren’t on a dairy-free diet, you can use regular dairy milk.
Coconut beverage is similar to coconut milk, but it has less fat. It comes in a carton and can be found in the aisle with other non-refrigerated plant milks.
