Q&A Section

Q1: Can I make this smoothie vegan?
Yes! Use almond milk or oat milk and replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.

Q2: What can I use instead of almonds?
You can use cashews, walnuts, or even peanut butter for a nutty flavor.

Q3: How can I make it more filling?
Add 2 tablespoons of rolled oats or a scoop of protein powder.

It’s best consumed fresh. If storing, keep it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Stir before drinking, as it may thicken.
