I mix my zero carb whey protein powder (vanilla or almond), with the cacao powder so that I can just spoon that straight into my smoothies for that chocolate effect.
-
I also keep a dessert spoon in the jar ready to go.
-
Keep your flaxseed oil in the fridge. I don’t really measure it these days, just slosh a good measure in. You really can’t overdose.
-
Have all your superfoods such as Chia, Bee Pollen, Maca, and Vital greens in nice jars, near your blender. Makes the quick breakfast easier.
-
I very rarely make any smoothies with milk, as it tend to discourage the use of milk. I mostly use water. Sometimes I may use Almond Milk (bought or homemade), or coconut milk. Don’t forget that adds to the calories.
-
I tend to have my smoothies first thing in the day, in keeping with correct food combining, and having fruit for breakfast.
-
I sometimes have a smoothie at suppertime, and make it thick, rich and chocolaty, so that it’s almost like having chocolate ice-cream (Two of my evening time nemesis in the past). This way its healthy. Just make sure you leave it 2-3 hours after dinner. Fruit doesn’t like to be piled in on top of other food.
