Notes
If you are using frozen fruit and veggies you will need closer to the 2 cups of plant-based milk. But if you use all non-frozen you will need less milk.// And if you use a combination of frozen vs. not frozen, the ration of milk will be less as well. // Pay attention to the thickness as you make your smoothie and use less liquid if you like a creamy smoothie. //
