Notes
- Variations:
- For extra protein and healthy fatty acids (omega 3&6): Add a few teaspoons of shelled hemp seeds (hemp hearts) to the mix—perfect for after a workout.
- Switch it up with (plant-based) protein or collagen peptides (unflavored). I also love Great Lakes Wellness Collagen or this plant-based protein source.
- Do you want it sweeter? Add a whole banana instead of half, a touch of honey, or one Medjool date to the blend.
- Do you want a thinner consistency? Add a tad more liquid, but not too much; otherwise, you will lose the fruit's delicious flavors.
- Do you want it spicier and love ginger smoothies? Then, play around with the amount of grated ginger. I love one teaspoon,n but add double the amount for a more gingery experience.
