Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your smoothie turns out perfectly every time:
- For a protein pack boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- If you want to make this a meal replacement, add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without altering the flavor.
- Experiment with different yogurt flavors—strawberry or blueberry yogurt can add a fun twist!
