Notes
Almond Milk. This recipe can be made with homemade almond milk using a Vitamix. However, you can always substitute with your favorite non-dairy milk. Another great option is to use Joi Organic Almond Milk made with 100% organic almonds.Banana. You can use a fresh or frozen banana, but the smoothie will have different consistencies. For example:
Fresh Banana - unless you add ice cubes, the smoothie will be thinner and drinkable through a straw
Frozen Banana - the smoothie will be thicker and have a "smoothie bowl" consistency. You may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of extra milk for it to be drinkable through a straw
Frozen Acai Berries. I use the frozen Sambazon Acai Berry Unsweetened Smoothie Packs that I purchased from the frozen section at Whole Foods, but if you don't have access to a Whole Foods, you can also order organic acai powder to get some of the benefits of the acai berry.Hemp Protein. I used the Nutiva Hemp Seed + Hi Fiber Protein which added 11 grams of vegan protein and 12 grams of fiber but you can use your favorite plant-based protein powder.
