Notes
- Serving: One serving equals 8 ounces of smoothie.
- Fresh Fruit: A banana is a great fresh fruit to use. An avocado can also be used along with a tablespoon or two of sweetener.
- Yogurt: It's best to use a plain, unsweetened yogurt and then adjust the amount of sweetener to taste. If you're slightly lactose intolerant, goat's milk yogurt is a wonderful alternative that tastes very similar to cow's milk yogurt.
- Optional Add-ins: Nuts, seeds, oils, spices, oats, and protein powder can all be added in. Start by adding a little bit and then taste after each addition to make sure you still like the flavor!
- Sweetener: You'd be surprised how sweet fruit can be! Wait until the end to stir in any additional sweeteners like honey, pure maple syrup, or agave nectar.
