Note: This recipe is a great template to play around with different ingredients. Try it with a plant-based almond milk, coconut milk or a dairy kefir (a drinkable fermented yogurt). Each choice adds its own unique flavor. To turn this smoothie into a meal replacement, add a 5.3 oz container of plain Greek-style yogurt (dairy or plant-based), or a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
