Substitutions:

• Other greens
  • Instead of spinach, use kale or other greens instead.
• Flavoured yogurt
  • Instead of plain, you can use a flavoured Greek yogurt like vanilla, coconut, lime or pineapple to provide some of the same nutrients as well as extra flavour!
• Dairy milk
  • The only reason I use water is because I prefer the taste combination with tropical fruits. But if you would rather use dairy milk as the liquid instead of water, this is a great option!
• Coconut milk or coconut water
  • Both of these options would provide a great tropical flavour as well as some additional nutrients. You can use this instead of water in this recipe. 
• Orange juice or pineapple juice
  • Juice can be a great substitute for water in smoothies. Orange, mango and pineapple would all compliment the existing smoothie ingredients and flavours.
• Chia seeds
  • Adding chia seeds to a smoothie can change the texture slightly but it can boost the protein, fibre and omega 3 fatty acid content.
• Frozen fruit
  • Using all frozen fruit will result in a creamy and super cold smoothie.
• Fresh fruit
  • If you only have fresh fruit on hand, no problem at all! You can always add a handful of ice to the blender to make the smoothie colder, if needed.
• Protein powder
  • For an extra boost of protein, consider adding half or a full scoop of protein powder. I would recommend a plain or vanilla flavour.

Dietary considerations:

• Dairy-free and vegan: use a plant-based yogurt.
• Nut-free: omit the hemp seeds or use chia seeds or ground flax seeds instead.
