- For added sweetness, you can add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, though the fruit and yogurt provide natural sweetness.
- Unsweetened almond milk keeps the smoothie low in calories and dairy-free friendly.
- This smoothie can be made vegan by substituting Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
