Recipe Tips And Substitutions
If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
For a vegan version, replace whey protein with a plant-based protein powder.
If you want to reduce the sugar content, opt for unsweetened almond milk instead of apple juice.
Adding a handful of spinach can provide an extra dose of greens without altering the taste significantly.
