Notes

• Consistency: to make thicker add additional ice cubes; to make thinner add additional almond milk or water
• Chocolate Protein/Collagen: adding collage to your smoothies not only has some amazing health benefits, but it also makes your smoothie extra creamy and smooth! Here is a my favorite chocolate collagen powder (use TWS10 for 10% off!)
