- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (frozen or chilled)

- 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon or orange zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp raw honey
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, ginger, allspice, or pumpkin spice (for an extra dose of fall flavor)
- 1/2 cup frozen berries like blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries (for a deep, fruity flavor)
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (instead of protein powder)
Instructions
- Start by pouring the milk and coconut milk into your blender.
- Next, toss in the add-ins (protein powder, almond butter, zest, lemon juice, extract, and spices).
- Lastly, add the frozen banana last and berries if you’re using them.
- Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add more liquid and continue blending to achieve your desired consistency. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
To prep the potatoes:
- Roughly chop into small pieces and either roast, steam, or microwave them until tender, about 15-20 minutes
- Let them cool slightly and then add them to a portioned silicone freezer container like the Smootheeze half-cup tray. Mash them slightly into each cube so that they freeze together and pop out in one piece.
