Notes
Ingredient Swap Ideas
- Don't have (or like) spinach? Try kale, arugula, Swiss Chard, or any favorite greens. But, if leafy greens in smoothies aren't your thing, try another veggie such as frozen riced cauliflower or butternut squash.
- Use any favorite plant based milk such as almond milk (try my Easy 1-Minute Almond Milk), macadamia nut milk, oat milk, or even flax milk.
- Low FODMAP Option: Add only 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and use a low-FODMAP plant-based milk (almond or macadamia).
