Pro Tips

1.  Add in 1 Tbsp of chia seeds or ground flax seeds to any recipe to boost your fiber intake.

2.  Add in some greens to any of these smoothies to up your veggies. Spinach and kale blend in seamlessly or try a flavored greens powder.

3.  Avocados are a great source of healthy fats, but they also help to make any smoothie extra creamy and delicious. If you want to “eat” your smoothie, avocado is the way to go. Other oils will keep your smoothie a bit thinner in consistency.

4.  Always add in liquid first. If you put any powders at the bottom of the cup/blender, they will stick and not blend well.

5. Easy does it on the fruit, folks! 1/4 cup of low glycemic fruit, like berries or cherries, is all you need. For a treat every now and then, try switching things up with some tropical fruits, like pineapple or mango.

6.  Mix it up! Don’t have the same boring smoothie every day. Mix up your protein flavors, your fats and your carbs (fruits) to keep things interesting.
