Using heavy cream instead of milk gives this smoothie a rich silky taste. Whole milk or skim milk works just fine, but the drink will lose some of its flavor.
Another option is to substitute the heavy cream with a non-dairy product like almond milk for those of you that want or need to stay away from dairy products.
You can also go ahead and make this breakfast drink the night before. Just refrigerate the blender container and give it a quick whip in the morning and it will be ready to serve.
Be sure to double the recipe, as your family will have this one disappearing quickly!
