Notes
- Make sure the nut butter is fresh and runny (not the hardened bit at the bottom) for the caramel sauce. Otherwise, the sauce won’t mix smoothly.
- The sauce works better if the nut butter is at room temperature.
- As is, this smoothie is not "creamy" but textured. Tastes amazing.
- Though you can use whey protein in place of the vegan protein powder, the smoothie will most likely be a bit thinner.
- If whipping up the caramel sauce right before using it, it should just drizzle off a spoon. Piping it from a bag tends not to work as well, especially if it’s not mixed completely smooth.
- Coconut whip is not included in nutritional breakdown.
- Refrigerating the caramel sauce will cause it to harden.
