Notes

Green Apples. Green apples bring a subtle sourness to this smoothie recipe. I highly recommend using green apples or the smoothie may taste sweeter. Substitute for your favorite apple variety.

Frozen Pineapple. Substitute for your favorite frozen fruit: bananas, mangoes, strawberries, etc.

Spinach. Substitute for kale or arugula.

Maple Syrup. Substitute for honey or agave syrup.

Lemon Juice. No substitution; the lemon juice helps balance out the sweetness.

Plant-Based Milk. Use your favorite unsweetened dairy-free milk like coconut, almond or oat milk. Sweetened and flavored milks can be used, but it will make the smoothie sweeter. You can use dairy milk as well if not vegan or dairy-free.
