Vanilla protein powder

  • Greek yogurt: Use extra Greek yogurt for protein, with a less sweet vanilla flavor.

Greek yogurt

  • Milk: Makes the smoothie thinner and slightly less creamy.

Almond milk

  • Milk: Gives a creamier texture and a more dairy forward taste.

Ice

  • Water: Use very cold water for a thinner smoothie.
