Can I customize this smoothie with additional ingredients?
Absolutely! Feel free to add ingredients like spinach, chia seeds, or a low-carb sweetener to customize the smoothie to your taste preferences and nutritional needs.
Is almond milk the only option for this smoothie?
While almond milk is used in this recipe, you can substitute it with any other low-carb milk alternative such as coconut milk, soy milk, or cashew milk if preferred.
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time and store it for later?
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh to preserve its flavor and texture. However, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and blend them when ready to enjoy.
Can I use regular cocoa powder instead of unsweetened cocoa powder?
Regular cocoa powder typically contains added sugars, which can increase the carb content of the smoothie. It's best to use unsweetened cocoa powder to keep the smoothie low-carb.
Is this smoothie suitable for a post-workout snack or meal replacement?
Absolutely! With its high protein content from the peanut butter and protein powder, this smoothie makes an excellent post-workout snack or meal replacement option to refuel and recover.
Can I omit the protein powder if I don't have any on hand?
While the protein powder adds an extra protein boost to the smoothie, you can omit it if desired. Just be aware that the overall protein content of the smoothie will be lower without it.
How can I adjust the sweetness of this smoothie to my liking?
You can adjust the sweetness of the smoothie by adding a low-carb sweetener of your choice. Adjust the amount based on your taste preferences.

I haven't made it with the recommended meal replacement but I have substituted in whey isolate (chocolate) and I really enjoy the flavor.
