Notes

Nutrition: the nutrition facts are based on one serving. This smoothie makes 2 servings. There are 33 grams of protein per serving.

Substitutions: you can swap the coconut milk or almond milk for any other milk replacement you like.

To Freeze: pour into a freezer-safe bag, jar, or container. It will last in the freezer for 1-2 months. Thaw for a few minutes, then toss into the blender to soften. You can also freeze into ice pops.

Notes on Sweeteners:

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for.

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
