Notes

TOP TIPS

  • Freeze spinach: Freeze leftover fresh spinach to reduce waste and make smoothies extra cold and creamy.
  • Boost protein: Choose a protein powder with at least 20g protein per serve for better satiety.
  • Blood sugar support: Don’t skip the fats - peanut butter, cashews and seeds help prevent energy crashes.
  • Adjust thickness: Add extra water if you prefer a lighter smoothie, or less for a thicker texture.
