Notes
Easy Ingredient Swaps
- In the summer you can use fresh, pitted and de-stemmed, cherries in place of frozen.
- Use tofu or your favorite protein powder in place of cottage cheese.
- Use any liquid (i.e. cow's milk, almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, etc) in place of the soy milk.
- Not into chocolate? Flavor your smoothie with pure vanilla extract, or ground spices like ginger and cardamom.
- Swap out the cacao nibs with chopped nuts, hemp seeds, or shredded coconut.
