Notes
- *If needed you can add a little extra water. If using a high powered blender you shouldn't need to.
- I've tried this with almond milk but I feel that since it's already a creamy smoothie without it, and since almonds are added it's not needed. But if you'd like it even richer and creamier you can use it in place of water.
