Coach’s Notes:

  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or a Medjool date. Be mindful of the added sugar content if you watch your overall sugar intake.

  • Boost Nutrient Content: Customize the smoothie by incorporating additional nutrient-dense ingredients, such as a handful of spinach or kale, for added vitamins and minerals. You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and healthy fats.

  • Tailor Protein Content: You can adjust the amount of protein powder used depending on your protein needs or preferences. Increase the protein content by adding an extra scoop or reduce it if you prefer a lower protein smoothie. Remember to check your specific protein powder's serving size and protein content.
