Base Substitutions (Liquid)

Instead of almond milk: Use oat milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or regular dairy milk if you’re not dairy-free.

For extra creaminess: Swap almond milk for canned coconut milk or Greek yogurt (though it will slightly alter the taste).

Healthy Fat Substitutions (Avocado)

Instead of avocado: Use banana for natural sweetness and creaminess, or add a spoonful of nut butter (like almond or cashew butter) for a similar healthy fat content.

Leafy Green Substitutions (Spinach)

Instead of spinach: Use kale (though it has a slightly stronger taste), Swiss chard, or even romaine lettuce for a milder green option.

Sweetener Substitutions (Medjool Dates)

Instead of dates: Try honey, maple syrup, agave, or a few drops of liquid stevia for a lower-sugar alternative.

For a fiber boost: Use prunes or figs instead of dates.

Collagen Powder Alternatives

Instead of collagen powder: Use a scoop of protein powder (vanilla or unflavored works best) or hemp seeds for plant-based protein.

Flavor Substitutions (Peppermint Extract)

Instead of peppermint extract: Use fresh mint leaves (about 4-5 leaves) or omit if you prefer a different flavor profile.

Ice Substitutions

Instead of ice: Use frozen banana, frozen cauliflower (for a hidden veggie boost), or frozen coconut chunks for a tropical twist.

Toppings & Garnishes

Instead of whipped cream: Use coconut whipped cream or Greek yogurt.

Instead of chocolate chips: Try cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts for added texture.
