Helpful Tips
Variations: Swap the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version. Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein.
Storage: The smoothie base can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Simply re-blend before serving if it separates.
Substitutions: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan option. Substitute pecans or almonds for walnuts if preferred.
