Notes
Ingredient Substitutions:
Baby spinach - You could also swap out the spinach for kale.
Fresh Ginger - I used one knob of fresh ginger for this smoothie. But if you don't have any, you could try adding ground ginger instead.
Carrots - Of course a carrot smoothie wouldn't be a carrot smoothie without them! I used pre-shredded carrots but you could always shred them yourselves or use baby carrots.
Hemp seeds - Hemp seeds are a perfect protein and are a good source of healthy fats. But you can leave it out if you don't have it.
Turmeric Protein Powder - I used a turmeric protein powder that I linked to above. Feel free to use regular vanilla protein powder and add 1 teaspoon ground turmeric or a 1” piece of fresh turmeric.
Powdered Almond Butter - Use 1 tablespoon regular almond butter or powdered almond butter for more healthy fats and to add a bit of creaminess.
Pitted Date - The date is to add just a hint of sweetness. Sub 1 tablespoon honey, agave, or maple syrup. Or leave out all together.
Almond Milk - You can really use any nondairy milk you want here in this smoothie. I prefer almond or oat milk.
