Tips & Notes
- Choose an unflavored or vanilla pea protein labeled gluten-free, and add it after the liquid so it doesn't cake onto the bottom of the jar.
- Pea protein keeps thickening after blending. If the smoothie turns too thick, blend in a splash more plant milk just before serving.
- If you use water rather than plant milk, include the nut butter too. Otherwise the smoothie tastes thin.
