Typically, it takes about 1-2 minutes to blend the smoothie until it reaches a creamy and uniform consistency. Make sure to start on a lower speed and gradually increase.
Yes, you can substitute fresh spinach for frozen, but you may want to add ice cubes for a chilled texture since fresh spinach has more moisture and a milder flavor.
If you have leftover smoothie, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking as separation may occur.
You can use any non-dairy milk like soy, coconut, or oat milk. If you're not dairy-free, regular milk can also be used as a substitute.
This smoothie is high in protein and packed with nutrients. It's suitable for most diets, but check the protein powder for lactose if you're lactose intolerant, and ensure that the almond milk fits your dietary needs.
Tips:
- For a smoother blend, add the almond milk first to help the blending process.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use less almond milk or add a few ice cubes.
- Feel free to substitute the almond milk with your preferred type of milk or a plant-based alternative.
- If you like your smoothies sweeter, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or a sugar-free sweetener.
