Instructions

- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on your taste preferences.
- Use gluten-free oats if you need the smoothie to be gluten free.
- Can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk.
- To boost protein further, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or nut butter.
