Notes

  • Make It Dairy-Free: This recipe is naturally dairy-free when using coconut milk. Substitute white chocolate with dairy-free options for a completely plant-based smoothie.
  • Boost Protein: Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder for a filling post-workout drink.
  • Custom Variations: Swap strawberries with mango or papaya for a new tropical twist.
