Notes
Keep your freezer stocked with a variety of berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.) for unlimited smoothie combos at your fingertips. Packaged frozen berries can be pricey, so do look for sales. To enjoy local seasonal berries all year round: wash and freeze individually on wax paper. Store berries in freezer-safe containers or bags. Berries may be kept frozen up to 4 months.
Change up your protein powder with a 100% vegan formulation. Less creamy in texture (more, like a fruit slushie), this protein powder will keep you full for hours due to its unique combination of brown rice and pea proteins.
