For best flavor and nutrition, consume your smoothie immediately. However, if you must store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Note that separation may occur, so give it a shake before drinking.
Yes, you can replace Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative such as almond, coconut, or soy yogurt. This will alter the flavor slightly but still maintain a creamy texture.
If your smoothie is too thick, simply add a small amount of water, orange juice, or your choice of milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
