Notes

• Make it Thicker or Thinner: For a thicker smoothie, use a little less milk or add a few ice cubes. For a thinner smoothie, just add a splash more milk.
• Meal Prep Smoothie Packs: This is a great time-saver! Place all the solid ingredients (spinach, banana, berries, chia seeds, protein powder) for one smoothie into a freezer-safe bag. Make 3-4 bags at once. In the morning, just dump the contents of one bag into the blender, add milk, and blend!
• Customize It! Feel free to add other superfoods like a tablespoon of almond butter, flax seeds, or hemp hearts.

Kitchen Rescue Tips!

• The Problem: "My smoothie is bitter or tastes too 'green'!"
• The Quick Fix: This usually happens if you use a little too much spinach or a very strong green. The rescue is to add a little more natural sweetness. A few more berries, the other half of your banana, or even a single pitted date will balance the flavors perfectly.
• The Problem: "My smoothie is too thin and watery!"
• The Rescue: The fastest fix is to add more frozen ingredients. A few more frozen berries or a couple of ice cubes, blended for another 30 seconds, will make it thick and frosty in no time. Chia seeds will also help it thicken if you let it sit for a few minutes.
