Instructions

Smoothie Cups
    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the smoothie ingredients into a freezer-safe, airtight container. (I used a mason jar, but you could use Stasher bags or freezer bags.)
  2. When ready to enjoy, fill the mason jar with milk (or add milk to your blender) and dump the ingredients into your blender.
  3. Blend until smooth, adding additional milk if needed. If you have trouble removing the contents from the jar after freezing, run a utensil around the edge to release everything
  4. Pour into glass, top with fresh blueberries and enjoy!
Enjoy Right Away
  1. Put all of the ingredients into a blender and blend well. Top with additional blueberries & enjoy. PS: I recommend using frozen blueberries and banana if you’re making it to enjoy right away.

Notes

  • Blueberries: If you don't have blueberries on hand you can use different berries like blackberries, raspberries or strawberries. Just be mindful that the overall flavor will change depending on what type of berry you use.
  • Nut butter: Substitute almond butter with any other nut butter of your choice, such as cashew or peanut butter. You could also use a seed butter, like sunflower or tahini, if you have a nut allergy.
  • Leafy greens: Feel free to swap the greens. If you don't have kale or spinach on hand, other leafy greens like Swiss chard or collard greens will work. You could also add frozen cauliflower or zucchini for a veggie boost without an added flavor.
  • Protein: For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
  • Cacao: If you don't have cacao powder, regular unsweetened cocoa powder will work in a pinch.
  • Sweetener: You could swap the medjool dates for another natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. You could also use stevia or monkfruit if you want to reduce the sugar content.
  • Add a nutrition boost: add cacao nibs, chia seeds, flax seeds or hemp seeds for a nutritional boost.
