Notes

SCROLL UP TO THE BLOG POST TO SEE STORAGE TIPS, MEAL PREP, AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECIPE!
  1. MILK: Be sure to use a plant based milk that has 8 grams of protein or more. My hemp seed sea moss recipe has 10 grams of protein per serving!
  2. ORANGE JUICE: If you can't find unpasteurized squeezed orange juice, you can use whatever brand of orange juice you can find instead. This would even be good with pineapple juice! You can also omit juice and replace it with more nondairy milk.
  3. PARSLEY: Both flat leaf and curly parsley will do. You can use cilantro instead if you like the taste. 
  4. BANANAS: If not using frozen bananas add ice cubes. If you don't like the banana taste substitute with frozen mango, papaya, or ½ fresh avocado.
