Protein supplement options

• 1 scoop vegan protein powder such as Webber Naturals Vegan Protein, Vanilla Cream. Consuming protein in the morning helps maintain blood sugar levels and reduce mid-morning hunger pangs.

• 1 scoop Webber Naturals Whey Protein, Vanilla Cream. Whey protein contains essential amino acids including L-lysine, an amino acid that helps collagen formation.

Ingredient tips

• Choose organic fruit when you can to reduce exposure pesticide residues.

• To get the desired consistency, add or reduce the amount of water you use.

• Frozen bananas add creaminess to your smoothie. Peel, chop, and store in a freezer bag.

• Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and shelled hemp seeds also thicken smoothies if you prefer not to use a banana. All these seeds contain healthy fats, protein, fibre, and other nutrients, so it’s nice to have them all stocked in the pantry to choose from.

Blending tips

• A powerful blender is the best choice when using frozen fruit and including ice cubes.

• Follow the manufacturer’s suggestions for loading the blend for best outcome. For example, bottom-loading blenders often recommend adding the liquids first, followed by soft foods and powders, then frozen and ice cubes on top.

• For convenience, have ½–1 cup water on hand if you need to reduce the thickness once blending has started.
