Helpful Tips

• If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use almond or oat milk.
• For an extra boost of fiber, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds before blending.
• This smoothie can be made ahead of time. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though it’s best enjoyed fresh.
• To enhance the chocolatey flavor, add a teaspoon of cocoa powder.

Pairings

This smoothie pairs beautifully with a side of whole grain toast, topped with avocado or some scrambled eggs. For a drink, a cup of herbal tea or a warm latte complements the smoothie perfectly, creating a well-balanced and nutritious breakfast.
