Recipe Notes

Tips and Substitutions:

  1. Layer the ingredients in the blender in the oder that’s indicated in the recipe- Layering the ingredients this way makes a difference. It allows the blender to blend the frozen ingredients first then takes the rest in with the liquid being last. This makes for a creamier and richer smoothie. Believe me, it matters!
  2. Not a fan of frozen banana in your smoothie?- Substitute for 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice.
  3. Use other nut butters- Almond butter is great in this smoothie too!
  4. No cacao powder?- Use unsweetened cocoa powder.
  5. Substitute for baby spinach- Kale works great in this recipe too!
