Recipe FAQS
Yes, substitute the almond butter for peanut butter, cashew butter, or any other tasty nut butters you enjoy.
Yes, add protein powder for an extra protein boost! I recommend using vanilla protein powder for the best flavors to come out since there is no vanilla extract added. Adding plain Greek yogurt is a great way to incorporate more protein and make the smoothie creamy all at once.
