The Formula (serves 2)
2 1/2 cups frozen fruit
1 scoop protein powder
1 cup liquid (e.g. OJ, almond milk, water)
*Optional, handful of greens (kale, spinach)
Toppings any assortment of fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, peanut butter, honey, etc.
Preparation: Combine frozen fruit, protein powder, (greens if you are using any), and liquid in blender. Blend until completely smooth. Mixture will be thicker than a regular smoothie so it does take a little longer to blend and you will probably need to scrape down the sides 1-2 times during the process to get everything well combined. Scoop into bowl and add desired toppings. Enjoy!

Ingredients (serves 2):
1/2 cup frozen acai (or 1 packet of frozen acai from Trader Joe’s)
1 cup frozen mango
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 scoop unflavored pea protein
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (swap OJ for a tangier bowl)

1 banana sliced
1 kiwi, sliced
1/2 mango, sliced
sprinkle chia seeds
sprinkle walnuts
sprinkle dried coconut
2 tablespoons granola
Preparation: Combine frozen fruit, protein powder, and almond milk in blender. Blend until completely smooth. Mixture will be thicker than a regular smoothie so it does take a little longer to blend and you will probably need to scrape down the sides 1-2 times during the process to get everything well combined. Scoop into bowls and add toppings. You can simply pile the toppings on or make it your morning art project; it tastes great either way. Enjoy!
