Want to start eating earlier in the day but don’t have time? Enjoy this customizable smoothie that balances lower-glycemic fruits with healthy fats, protein, and even veggies! Yields 1 smoothie

Ingredients

Berry Blast Smoothie

  • 1–2 tablespoons nut butter (optional, but recommended)

  • 3/4–1 cup milk of choice

  • honey or maple syrup, for added sweetness (optional)

Directions

1.

Combine all ingredients. Blend and enjoy.

Notes:

This recipe is an example of a balanced smoothie. You can have fun mixing and matching your own balanced smoothie creations by following these steps:

1. Start with fruit. Keeping fruit in the one- to one-and-a-half-servings range gives you flavor and sweetness without overloading on natural sugar.

2. Add a healthy fat. I love both avocado (for creaminess) and nut or seed butters (for protein); I often add a little of each.

3. Include an additional protein source. Collagen or other protein powders, Greek yogurt, and seeds (hemp, chia, or pumpkin) all help with your smoothie’s overall macro balance.

4. Add a vegetable for extra fiber and nutrients. Spinach and kale are great but have a stronger taste and color; frozen cauliflower or frozen zucchini, on the other hand, both blend smoothly, don’t affect taste, and add a creamy texture.

5. Finish with your liquid of choice. Use plant-based or dairy milk or plain water, with or without some additional coconut water for sweetness and electrolytes, if you like it.

(Sweetener is optional and really depends on taste; if you’re including sweeter fruits like banana or mango, you often don’t need additional sweetener at all.)
