STUDY GUIDE
Protein.
Use your favorite protein in these smoothies like kefir, greek yogurt, nut/seed butter, plant or grassfed whey protein powder or grassfed collagen.

Liquids.
I used unsweetened plant milk in each one to keep things easy, but don’t forget there are other liquids you can use like water, coconut water, iced coffee, green tea or herbal tea.

How much liquid?
Add about 1 cup. You may need more or less so put it in LAST & adjust to your fav consistency.

Ice.
Don’t forget to add ICE! It adds VOLUME & makes smoothies more filling & refreshing.

Portions.
Refer to the Smoothie Anatomy general portion guide. In general, a meal is about 300-500 calories-ISH so pay attention that ingredients/boosts aren’t adding up to 2 or more meals! Learn more about calories-ISH here.
