Notes

  • GREENS: Instead of spinach, use dandelion greens, collards, or kale. If you like the taste of cilantro, you can add that or swap it with parsley.
  • ORANGES: Regular oranges will work for this as well.
  • BANANAS: If not using frozen bananas add ice cubes. If you don't like the banana taste substitute with ½ medium avocado to ensure a smooth smoothie. Again use 2-3 ice cubes to keep it chilled. You can also use frozen mangos for this.
  • ADDITIONS & SUBSTITUTIONS: If you can't find monk fruit sugar, use 3-4 dates instead! (Make sure you take the pit out!) Hemp protein powder can sub for whole hemp seeds or omit altogether. You can also substitute fresh turmeric and fresh ginger for ¼ teaspoon of powdered turmeric and ginger.
