Notes

You can use any greens you have handy for a nutrition boost - kale and silverbeet both work here.
Use your favourite superfood and protein supplement here as well - I love using chocolate pea protein here for an extra chocolatey smoothie!
You can replace the almond milk with any plant-milk you have in the fridge, or you can also use water/coconut water + 1/4 avocado/1 Tbsp raw nuts/nut butter/coconut
Some optional add-ins I love are: a medjool date, 2 tsp chia seeds/flaxseed/1 tsp maca or 1 tsp cinnamon
