Notes
Ways to customize:
- Add greens: If you’re looking to get more greens in your diet, try adding a handful or two of baby spinach or kale leaves. It will turn the smoothie a different color, but you won’t be able to taste the greens.
- More fruit: Feel free to add about 1/2 cup to 1 cup more fruit. Some great options are blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, mango, cherries, pineapple, peaches, or any other favorite. Just be sure to use frozen fruit for the best results.
- Add an extra boost of nutrition: Try adding in a serving of protein powder, flax seed, or hemp seeds. You can omit the oats or keep them in.
