Pro Tips

  • Feel free to sub in almond milk or your favorite unflavored plant based milk.

  • Be careful not to use too much ginger. Ginger can vary in its flavor potency, if your ginger smells really strong, use less than the recipe measurement.

  • If you're sensitive to glucose spikes, try sweetening with stevia, agave or monk fruit instead of maple syrup and replace the banana with frozen peaches .

  • One of the great things about smoothies – it's easy to add in other boosters like chia seeds, flax, protein powder, almond butter or even yogurt!
