A visual representation of the written recipe for my No Fail Smoothie Template that's below the image.

NO FAIL SMOOTHIE TEMPLATE

  • 4-6oz Liquid: water, coconut water, oat milk, etc. Milk and milk alternatives will make a creamier smoothie
  • 1/2 - 1 cup fruit and/or half or whole banana: frozen mixed berries, cherries, etc. Your fruit can be fresh or frozen (there is no difference in nutritional value). If you use frozen fruit, you typically don't need to add more ice.
  • 1-2 handfuls leafy greens: baby spinach, kale, chard, mixed greens. You can also add powdered greens (they tend to taste a little more "earthy"). #ProTip: Buy pre-washed bags of greens if your budget allows. You can also freeze the greens for maximum storability.
  • 1-2 tbsp add-ins: nut butter, chia seeds, hemp hearts, flax seeds, walnuts, almond... Adds healthy, good fats, which help provide a feeling of fullness.
  • 1 scoop protein powder: whey, casein, rice, pea... whatever your body digests well, tastes good to you, doesn't have a lot of fillers, and isn't overly or artificially sweetened
  • Additional toppers/add-ins: coconut, cacao nibs, yogurt, oats, cinnamon, maple syrup, honey, ice. For a morning pre-workout "meal", add 1/2 cup oats for additional carb support. Other things can be added for flavor, sweetness, creaminess, coldness, etc.
