Notes
- Make it creamy: For a creamier smoothie, replace the water with any milk of your choice: whole milk, half and half, 2%, non-fat, almond milk, oat milk, etc.
- Add protein: Instead of water or milk, add 1 cup Greek yogurt or 1 cup cottage cheese for added protein. You may need to add a little water to thin the consistency, or use less ice. You could also add a scoop of protein powder, if you like.
