Notes

Can I Skip The Protein Powder? Yes, you don't have to use protein powder in smoothies. But if you remove it, the texture will be thinner. To balance the texture, you can add 1 tablespoon of cashews, chia seeds, or hemp seeds.

Can I Use Other Milk? Any plant-based milk works in this smoothie, but some have a stronger flavor, like soy milk. To keep the smoothie bland, try almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk.

Can I Skip Peanut Butter? Yes, you can skip the peanut butter and use other healthy fat seed spreads like sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option or tahini.

Can I Make A Chocolate Zucchini Smoothie? Yes, you can turn this recipe into a chocolate flavor by adding 1 to 4 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and extra sweetener to balance the bitterness of the cocoa. I would recommend adding 1 or 2 pitted dates or 1 or 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, sugar-free if needed. You can also blend in a few teaspoons of dark chocolate chips and serve with a drizzle of melted chocolate or grated chocolate.
