Make sure to add enough water if your blender has troubles chopping all the ingredients. This step is important because some of the ingredients tend to “absorb” water and some blenders may have troubles mixing everything smoothly. For this smoothie I used whey protein powder and this means our smoothie is not vegan. Should you want to go vegan with this recipe, feel free to use a vegan protein powder or skip using protein powder altogether. Instead of whey protein powder you can successfully use a vegan protein powder like pea protein or hemp protein.
