Notes
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or blend again before serving.
- Nut-free option: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini, and swap almond milk for soy or coconut milk.
- Use frozen banana: I highly recommend slicing and freezing ripe bananas for a thick, creamy texture. Using fresh? Just add a few ice cubes to chill the smoothie.
- Add protein: Mix in a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
- Sweeter smoothie: Add an extra date or a splash of maple syrup or agave.
- For a more filling smoothie: blend in 2–3 tablespoons of rolled oats and a spoonful of healthy fats like chia, flax, hemp, or pumpkin seeds.
