TERI’S TIPS:
- Its best to blend whole flax seeds into smoothies. Ground flax makes the smoothie texture viscous.
- Eating your smoothie is better for digesting so make it thick and top it as suggestion. If if you prefer to drink yours, add additional liquid to create desired consistency and omit toppings.
- Be sure to aim for at least 3 tbsp of nuts, seeds or nut or seed butters if not using protein powder. Even if you are, a tbsp or more of protein, healthy, fiber rich, whole foods is suggested.
BONUS ADD INS:
- 1-2 tbsp vanilla protein powder or collagen powder
- 1 tsp acerola cherry powder (Vitamin C at it’s best)
- 1 tsp vita-mineral greens
