Tips & Tricks:

  • Add in a little milk of choice to thin out smoothie to your liking. 
  • Try adding in baby spinach to sneak in some veggies. Add this in Step 1, with yogurt and ice cubes, before adding banana, to ensure spinach blends in well. Note, final product will NOT be a pretty color but will still taste good!
  • Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein to help increase your protein intake for the day.
