Notes

If you prefer your smoothies on the sweeter side I suggest you add a few drops of vanilla cream stevia or even a drizzle of maple syrup to taste. Feel free to play around and make it just the way you like it 😉 You could also add in a scoop of protein powder (vanilla, chocolate or unflavored would work well in this recipe) for an extra boost of protein if you’re into that kinda thing – do what you feel baby 🙂
