Frequently Asked Questions
Does avocado make the smoothie taste savory?
No. In this amount, avocado mostly adds creaminess. Orange and vanilla remain the dominant flavors.
Can I use bottled orange juice instead of a whole orange?
You can, but a whole orange adds more body and fiber. If you use juice, start with a smaller amount of almond milk so the smoothie does not become too thin.
Can I make it without protein powder?
Yes. Increase the Greek yogurt or use a higher-protein milk, but the total protein will be lower.
