- 2 tsp honey

Tips for the Best Smoothie
- Frozen fruit helps the smoothie to be thicker and cooler. No frozen bananas? Include a handful of ice.
- Choose a thickener: Almond butter gives creaminess and good fats. You can trade it for Greek yogurt, peanut butter, or omit it for a thinner consistency.
- Select Your Liquid: Almond milk gives a nutty taste. Try fruit juice or coconut milk for a creamier or tropical flavor. Skip the thickener and use less liquid.
