Recipes FAQ
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can use any type of milk you prefer. We like almond milk because it has a mild flavor and is low in calories, but you could also use coconut milk, soy milk, or dairy milk if you prefer.
Can I leave out the protein powder?
Yes, the protein powder is optional. If you don't have any on hand, or don't want to use it, simply leave it out. The smoothie will still be delicious and nutritious.
Can I use a different type of sweetener?
Yes, you can use any type of sweetener you prefer. We like medjool dates because they add a natural sweetness and are packed with fiber and nutrients, but you could also use maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar if you prefer.
Recipe Tips
- Make sure your avocado is ripe and soft - this will ensure that it blends smoothly and adds a creamy texture to the smoothie.
- Use frozen banana slices instead of ice cubes for an even creamier texture.
- If you don't have a high-speed blender, you may need to blend the smoothie for a bit longer to ensure that it's completely smooth.
