Notes
Note 1: You can use any type of milk you like; just check and make sure it’s dairy free if that’s a concern. Vegan = no animal products, so vegans will need to use nut milk instead of cow’s milk.
Note 2: The better the flavor of the almond butter, the better the smoothie tastes! I like to get a dry-roasted and lightly salted almond butter!
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, as leftovers don’t store well.
