Notes
Tips to note for a BEST triple berry smoothie
- Protein powder- You can add any protein powder as per diet restrictions. Which will add extra protein anywhere from 20 grams to 30 grams extra to this smoothie. My plain berry smoothie was already enough sweet due to which I skipped adding it. Just add 1 scoop of protein powder to make it a completely healthy breakfast smoothie.
- Nut butter- Adding nut butter is a great idea for healthy fats. Which will make this smoothie Paleo & whole 30 approved.
- Nuts- Cashew, almond, pistachio are a good addition to it.
- Sweetener- If you want to make a smoothie without adding a banana then add 3 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup or agave syrup. 2 teaspoons of stevia or monks fruit will also work.
- Yogurt- You can add ⅓ cup of greek yogurt in place of almond milk to make it thick and get a few grams of protein extra.
- Spinach- To make it fiber-rich add 1 cup of spinach. However, my kids are fussy over the green color smoothies.
- Seeds- Chia seeds, hemp seeds, & flax seeds are rich in omega-3, and other micronutrients. So 1 tablespoon of these seeds will add extra nutrition.
- Make it keto-friendly- Add ½ avocado to make it keto-friendly.
