Notes
When made with 3 cups of plant milk this smoothie makes at least 48oz, enough for 3-4 smoothies depending on how much you like to drink. For my family of three enthusiastic smoothie drinkers, this makes 3 tall glasses of smoothie with no leftovers. Simply halve the recipe if you’re making smoothies for 2, or only want small servings.
