The key to a smoothie that keeps you full for hours is the right combination of fiber, protein, and fat. You will see that I call for a healthy fat in each smoothie, that is by design, so while it may be tempting to skip it it makes a big difference in how satisfying that smoothie will be.
“What can I use instead?”
- I call for unsweetened almond milk in most of my smoothies but you can easily swap in water, oat milk, coconut milk or cow’s milk if that’s your preference.
- Swap in raspberries or strawberries for the blueberries in the
Blueberry Superfood Smoothie, or swap in peaches or pineapple for the mango in the The BEST Green Smoothie
- If you don’t have avocado, you can use 1 Tablespoon of nut butter in its place, or even 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil or flax seed to get those healthy fats in.
I would like to make this as a smoothie bowl. What changes do I need to make it thick enough to be a bowl instead of a drink?
Simply reduce the liquid by about 1/3 to 1/2. Be sure to move everything around with the tamper and just add more liquid as you need it!
