Protein power smoothie FAQ:
Preparing the Protein Power Smoothie typically takes about 10 minutes, including chopping the fruit and blending the ingredients. The blending process itself takes 1-2 minutes.
Yes, you can substitute whey protein powder with plant-based protein powders like pea, hemp, or soy protein. Just keep in mind that this may slightly alter the flavor and texture of the smoothie.
It's best to consume the Protein Power Smoothie immediately for optimal freshness. However, if needed, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Separation is normal; just shake or stir before drinking.
You can replace almond milk with any other non-dairy milk, such as oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk. Adjust based on your taste preference or dietary needs.

Tips:
- For a thicker smoothie, consider adding a handful of ice cubes or using frozen fruit.
- To make the smoothie even more nutritious, add a handful of spinach or kale. The fruits will mask the taste of the greens, so you'll still get a delicious flavor.

- For an extra boost of fiber, include a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds.
- Make sure to blend the smoothie until it reaches a smooth consistency to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
