Protein supplement option

• 1 scoop vegan protein powder. Consuming protein in the morning helps maintain blood sugar levels and reduce mid-morning hunger pangs.

Ingredient Tips

• Choose organic fruit when you can to reduce exposure pesticide residues.
• To get the desired consistency, add or reduce the amount of water you use.
• Frozen bananas add creaminess to your smoothie. Peel, chop, and store in a freezer bag.
• Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and shelled hemp seeds also thicken smoothies if you prefer not to use a banana. All these seeds contain healthy fats, protein, fibre, and other nutrients, so it’s nice to have them all stocked in the pantry to choose from.

Blending Tips

• A powerful blender is the best choice when using frozen fruit and including ice cubes.
• Follow the manufacturer’s suggestions for loading the blend for best outcome. For example, bottom-loading blenders often recommend adding the liquids first, followed by soft foods and powders, then frozen and ice cubes on top.
• For convenience, have ½–1 cup water on hand if you need to reduce the thickness once blending has started.
