Notes
-
- Use Frozen Fruits: Using frozen mango and pineapple helps create a thick, frosty texture without needing ice. You can also use frozen banana.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a little honey or a couple of dates.
- Customize Your Greens: Feel free to adjust the amount of spinach and kale according to your taste preference. If you're new to green smoothies, maybe start with less and gradually increase the amount.
- Turn it Into Dessert: Sometimes I make my smoothie extra thick by using less milk and taking the tamper on my blender to push everything down as I blend. You can eat it with a spoon this way making it almost like dessert!
- You can find tons of smoothie supplements, boosts and gear in the smoothie category in my Amazon storefront. Here are some of my favorite vanilla protein powders specifically:
