Notes
- Say you don’t like spinach? Any leafy greens will do, but kale is a great alternative to the spinach.
- I’ve also added some Vanilla whey protein powder into my smoothie, this is totally optional! I love having this extra protein boost in my diet, it makes this smoothie a meal replacement!
- If you have the nerve, add a pinch of cilantro to this healthy smoothie! It takes it to a whole new wonderful place! And a squirt of lime juice. See, my mind and flavor buds keep on going…
- Great add-ins would also include a scoop of almond butter or chia seeds. Both have health benefits and help create a smooth and creamy texture!
