Notes
Smoothie recipes are about as adaptable as they come. Consider all of the following optional add-ons: A cup of fresh spinach is a great way to add greens to your diet 2 tablespoons collagen powder (or a scoop of your protein powder of choice) to help add protein to your diet and keep you full longer. 1 tablespoon chia seeds can add fiber and give a thicker texture to your smoothie. 1-2 tablespoons of your nut butter of choice can also fiber, proteins, and fats, helping keep you full longer. 1-2 teaspoons maca powder can also offer a boost, and is a great adaptogen. 1 tablespoon MCT oil can also add an extra energy boost to your smoothie. Coffee can be a great substitute for some of the water, too, when you need a caffeine kick.
