TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Green Breakfast Smoothie:
- Colder Smoothie: For a colder smoothie, use a frozen banana or add a few ice cubes before blending.
- Smoother Texture: Soak chia seeds in almond milk for 10 minutes prior to blending for a smoother texture.
- Adjust The Thickness: Adjust the thickness by adding more almond milk if desired.
VARIATIONS
- For Extra Protein And Creaminess: Add a tablespoon of nut butter (e.g., almond or peanut) for extra protein and creaminess.
- To Make It More Filling: Include a scoop of plant-based protein powder to make it more filling.
- Add Spinach: Swap spinach for kale or other leafy greens to vary the nutrients.
- Add Fruit: Incorporate fruits like mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Freeze: Prepare smoothie packs by placing all ingredients (except almond milk) into freezer-safe bags. In the morning, just add almond milk and blend.
- Refrigerator: Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before consuming.
- Prepared Smoothie: Freezing the prepared smoothie is not recommended, as it may alter the texture upon thawing.
