- Coffee – Use any brewed coffee you like.

There are many different ways you can switch this smoothie up and make it your own. Here are a few options:

- Volume: Add up to 1 cup steamed and frozen chopped cauliflower or zucchini – this is a great way volume and fiber for a bigger smoothie without additional calories! Check out my post on adding veggies to smoothies for more details.
- Powders: Mix in powders like maca, lucuma, ashwaganda, a mushroom powder or any other adaptogen or superfood you like to use.
- Coconut: Swap half of the coffee for light or full-fat coconut milk.
- Oatmeal Smoothie: Add up to 1/4 cup rolled oats for oat milk latte vibes.
- Chocolate: Add 1-2 tbsp cocoa power or cacao for more chocolate flavour or add some chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a peanut butter chocolate chip smoothie.
FAQs
Yes. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge in a sealed jar for 1-2 days. It won’t be quite as thick after storing but it will still taste amazing!
The protein powder sweetens and thickens the smoothie but if you’d like to leave it out, try replacing it with an extra frozen banana or a mix of frozen cauliflower and frozen banana. I would recommend using it though. You can use any kind you like and both chocolate and vanilla work well, or if you can find peanut butter protein…yum!!
Sure! Just swap the peanut butter for tahini, sunflower seed butter or Wowbutter.
