- Any type of milk can be used, including dairy-free options like almond or oat milk.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and omit honey or use maple syrup instead.
- Adjust peanut butter quantity according to preference for nuttiness and protein content.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; may need stirring before serving.
