Notes
- *Forgot to Freeze Your Cold Brew: if you forgot to freeze the cold brew, DON'T WORRY you can still make the smoothie. Just add about 1 cup cold brew and then a handful or two of regular ice cubes. The smoothie might not be QUITE as thick, but it will still be delicious!
- Dates: option to substitute honey or maple syrup as the sweetener - 1-2 tablespoons of either will work, but feel free to add more, if desired.
- Other Add-Ins: handful of spinach, frozen zucchini, 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, or scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
- Nutrition: nutrition estimate provided does NOT include the optional protein powder or toppings.
