Notes
- Boost nutrition by using frozen strawberries for a thicker, chilled smoothie without adding extra ice.
- Swap almond milk with Greek yogurt for added protein and creamier texture, perfect for post-workout recovery.
- Customize sweetness by adding a small banana or a drizzle of honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie without artificial sugars.
- For a low-carb version, replace almond milk with unsweetened coconut milk and use stevia instead of honey.
