Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
-
- Use frozen fruits- This will make your smoothie thick so that it can be layered.
- Use ice- It makes the smoothie even thicker which helps with the layering of the smoothie as well. Ice will also make the smoothie even more refreshing.
- Layer the ingredients in the blender in the order 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!
- Substitute for almond milk- You can use any milk you prefer such as oat milk, cashew milk or even dairy milk.
- Substitute for chia seeds- You can use other seeds like hemp hearts or flax meal. You can omit the seeds all together.
- Blend everything together- If you're not looking for a pretty and fancy layered smoothie. You can save yourself a couple of steps and just blend everything together and serve as is.
