- For Veggies: 1/2 cup frozen spinach, kale, or other leafy green
- Sweetener: add in some monkfruit, stevia, or some fruit juice
- For Fruit: sub 1/2 cup ice cubes with 1/2-3/4 cup frozen fruit, such as strawberries, peaches or blueberries
- For Protein Boost: 2 tablespoons peanut powder
- For Healthy Fats: 2 tablespoons nut butter
- For Energy: 1/4 teaspoon maca powder

Instructions
- Add all ingredients in the order listed: 3/4 cup milk, protein powder, ice cubes and 1/2 cup milk. This is the order that I’ve found to be smoothest, without any protein powder getting stuck in a clump anywhere.
- Now, add Optional Boosters.
- Close blender. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!
