Optional Smoothie Add-Ins
While this healthy smoothie recipe as written only calls for 4 ingredients, don't feel limited! Here are some optional add-ins to bulk up your breakfast shake:
- Nuts and nut butter - who said your PB&J had to be a sandwich? Further, feel fee to add some walnuts, almonds or almond butter, if you like it.
- Seeds - flax, chia and hemp hearts are all exceptionally healthy!
- Oats - up the fiber with a ¼ cup or more of oats. Just be sure to opt for quick cooking or instant oats for the best consistency.
- Greens - need to sneak some veggies into your kiddo's diet? Add a handful of spinach or kale, or a scoop of spirulina to get them to eat their greens without even knowing it!
- Fruits and berries - there's no law saying strawberry and banana are the only fruits you can put in your smoothie. Feel free to add avocado, other berries, apples, pears, citrus or acai!
- Protein - throw in a scoop or two of protein powder or silken tofu to increase your protein content.
- Milk/Dairy - feel free to swap in any milk you choose, dairy or not. You can also add in yogurt or kefir for some extra probiotic goodness.
