Making smoothies is all about feel - try to eyeball measurements of the ingredients (less dirty dishes) and use your best judgement. I promise, it will always be yummy and you will learn as you go. always remember to taste it at the end, and doctor it up as needed.

A few smoothie tips:
- Buy some very ripe bananas next time you're at the g-store. Peel them, break them in half and freeze them in a big ziplock bag.
- Always add your liquid first. This keeps things flowing well down by the blade. And if you're out of milk, water works just fine.
- Subs are key here — use any milk you have, any nut butter, skip the protein powder, add some extra produce. Play around with whatever you've got.

PARTS
— 1 cup of unsweetened plant-based milk (like almond or oat)
— 1/2 cup greek yogurt
— 1 banana (ripe and frozen is best)
— A small handful of ice cubes
— 2 heaping spoonfuls of almond butter
— 1 small spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder
— A few dashes of cinnamon

CLUES
1. Add all ingredients (in order) into your blender, making sure the liquids are put in first to keep things flowing.
2. Blend on med-high until it looks and sounds smooth, about 1-2 minutes. 
3. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add more ice cubes. Voilà!

Optional: Add in a little cold brew for some caffeine, a little honey or maple syrup if your banana is not ripe yet, a teaspoon of maca powder, moringa or chaga for added health benefits, some rolled oats, extra fruits, coconut oil for some creaminess, a scoop of protein powder. Follow your heart. I always add 2 scoops of Vital Proteins collagen (improves digestion, promotes joint health and enhances skin and hair cells).
