Notes

STORAGE: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, tightly sealed or in a covered mason jar, ensuring that you drink it within the same day for best taste and consistency.
SWEETENER: You can always use maple syrup, vegan honey, or Medjol dates as a substitute for Agave.
PINEAPPLES: If you're using freshly chopped pineapple, you can freeze them prior to adding them to this smoothie or just add ice for a "smoothie-like" consistency.
TURMERIC: For health benefits of using turmeric, ensure that it is paired with black pepper, helps to aid in curcumin absorption. You can substitute the chia seeds with 1 teaspoon of turmeric + ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper.
