- Sweetness Adjustments: Add a full banana, a tablespoon of maple syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener like allulose if desired.
- Nutritional Boost: Add almond butter, avocado, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or your favorite protein powder.
- Storage Tip: Best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours with cling film pressed onto the surface to avoid oxidation.
- Equipment Tip: A high-speed blender like Vitamix or Ninja makes the creamiest smoothie, but any blender will work.
- Optional Add-ins: Sneak in a handful of spinach for extra greens, though it may alter the smoothie color.
