Notes
- Using frozen fruits makes the smoothie thick and cold without needing ice.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk as preferred.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey based on taste.
- For a vegan option, ensure the protein powder is plant-based and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
