Notes
This makes two small or one large smoothie.
Any milk can be used; whole milk will make for a creamier smoothie. You can also use your favorite dairy-free milk.
Add a few extra tablespoons of milk for a thinner smoothie until you reach your desired consistency.
Your sweetener of choice can be used as a substitute for maple syrup.
This smoothie is best served the same day. However, you can keep any leftover smoothie in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
