Notes
- For a thinner smoothie, add more coconut milk or water to adjust consistency.
- Use unsweetened coconut milk to keep added sugars low.
- Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; allow the smoothie to rest a few minutes if you prefer a thicker consistency as chia seeds absorb liquid.
- You can swap almond butter with any other nut or seed butter for variation.
- Make sure fruits are frozen to avoid diluting the flavor with ice.
