- You can customize the smoothie by using any type of unsweetened nut milk, such as almond or cashew milk.
- Omit the banana or protein powder for different dietary preferences or to reduce sugar content.
- Add more liquid gradually when blending to control the texture.
- The smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for a short time if needed.
