Notes
- Want to bump up the protein but don't agree with protein powder? Use collagen! Protein in it's purest form. Grab it from Perfect Supplements and use code mamabear10 to save some money.
- The recipe makes one larger (full mason jar ish) or two smaller kid-sizes.
- Any non-dairy milk will work for this smoothie recipe. That said, you can also use your own homemade hemp milk as well.
- You can easily sub out different nut butters for the cashew butter. In fact, almond butter, or almond hazelnut butter are great variations.
- You can omit the chlorella pwoder if you don't have it on hand, the smoothie will still pack a punch.
- If you use tart cherries the smoothie will be darker. And you can always bump up the chocolate flavor with a bit more cacao powder.
