Tips for All Recipes:

- Make it more filling: You can add a tablespoon of nut butter (almond, peanut, etc.) or protein powder to any of these smoothies.
- Customization: Feel free to swap ingredients based on your preferences, such as using different fruits or greens (like kale) or adding superfoods (like spirulina or flaxseeds).
- Storage: These smoothies are best consumed fresh, but they can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 hours. If making a batch, keep them in airtight containers.
