3 STEPS TO BUILD THE PERFECT SMOOTHIE.
3 Tips Build the Perfect Smoothie Every Time!
When it comes to food, if it is not quick, easy, and nutritious, it's not happening. That's why smoothies are one of my favorite go to meal options, especially in the summer. Customize them to fit your unique nutrition needs.
1. Add Protein.
For those who consume dairy, try whey protein or Greek yogurt.
For those following a Plant Based diet, try pea protein or a plant based yogurt with at least 10 grams of protein like Siggi's.
2. Add Healthy Fat.
Avocado, nut butter or seeds..
3. Add Carbohydrate.
Fresh or frozen fruit and/or vegetables: greens, berries, bananas, cauliflower, or any of your favorites! You can even add oats, quinoa, or beans!
