Instructions

- Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.

Notes
- Use frozen blueberries to make the smoothie naturally colder and thicker without needing as much ice.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt to make this smoothie vegan.
- The optional honey or maple syrup can be omitted if you prefer a less sweet or diabetic-friendly version.
- Adjust the thickness by varying the amount of almond milk and ice cubes according to your preference.
- For added nutrition, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
