Notes
I use my Vitamix on low while pressing the ingredients down with the tamper. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, you may need to stop repeatedly to mix and help the blender along. Try not to over-mix or leave it running in blender as the heat will melt it and it won’t be as thick.
To make this into a drinkable smoothie, slowly add extra liquid until it reaches desired consistency.
