It’s Easy to Make A Metabolism Boosting Smoothie!

Use this simple three-step process to ensure you blend a delicious metabolism-boosting breakfast every time!

Step 1: Begin with Core Smoothie Ingredients

• 1 – 2 Scoops High-Quality Protein Powder. Your powder should be between 15-25g of protein, less than 6g of carbohydrate, less than 2 grams of sugar and preferably at least 2 grams of dietary fiber.
  I like whey or pea protein the best. Here are my two favorites: Whey Protein and Vega Protein & Greens
• 1 Tablespoon Chia and/or Flax Seed. This adds some healthy omega-3s and fiber to your smoothie. {optional}
• 4–8+ Ounces Dairy-Free Liquid. You may use one liquid alone or a combination of two different liquids (i.e. half water and half unsweetened almond milk). Less liquid may be used if you prefer a thicker consistency to your shake. Add more liquid if you prefer a thinner consistency shake. Dairy-free liquid choices include Water, coconut milk or unsweetened plain or vanilla almond milk.
