Notes
Smoothie bowl: If you want to serve this smoothie in a bowl with toppings like berries or granola, I recommend only starting with ½ cup of milk and adding more as needed. I also recommend adding 2 frozen bananas instead of just 1 ½ for more volume.
Storing: The smoothie is best enjoyed right away, but if needed, you can store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
The nutritional facts are counted without any protein powder because they are all different. My favorite is Sprout Living Protein Powder. I use the unflavored here because their chocolate protein powder already has maca and lucuma. The values shown are only an estimate and don't include the superfoods.
