For Energy: ¼ teaspoon gelatinized maca powder
For Fruit: sub 1/2 cup ice cubes with ½-3/4 cup frozen fruit such as strawberries, peaches or blueberries
For Protein Boost: 2 tablespoons peanut powder
For Healthy Fats: 2 tablespoons unsalted natural creamy nut butter, or more MCT oil
For Fun: 1 tablespoon paleo chocolate chunks

Instructions

This is the blender I use to make my smoothies. It’s easy to use, holds the perfect amount, and can be left to keep blending while I walk away (it runs by itself).
Add all ingredients in the order listed: 3/4 cup non-dairy milk, vegan protein powder, MCT oil, 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.
Depending on your daily nutritional needs, feel free to add maca powder, peanut powder, nut butter or more MCT oil.
Close blender. Blend until smooth and no chunks remain. Enjoy immediately!
