Notes

For many people (myself included), smoothies are a meal in itself. So, it should have a combination of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. This makes for a well-rounded recipe that’ll help you stay fuller for longer. Here are some healthy things you can add to your smoothies:

Fiber. Fiber helps you to feel full and satiated. Think fresh fruit or frozen fruit, vegetables, flaxseeds, or oatmeal.
Protein. Similar to fiber, protein aids in fullness and helps promote muscle growth after a workout. Think protein powder, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, quinoa flakes, or hemp seeds.
Healthy fats. Healthy fatty acids add texture and make for a more satisfying drink. Think avocado, seeds, chia seeds, nuts, or nut butter.
