1- 3 servings vanilla collagen powder (or your protein of choice)

¼ - ½ cup of frozen blueberries

1 large handful of spinach

1/4 avocado

2 tbsp ground flax seed

A few dashes of cinnamon

Optional: Add hemp seeds and/or cacao nibs at the end to encourage chewing in the mouth which helps with digestion

Bonus: add your favorite superfoods like astragalus root powder, cacao, reishi etc. These adaptogens can add even more benefits for your body.  

Blend & enjoy!

If you’re feeling hungry within two hours after drinking this, try adding another scoop of protein powder, more flax seed, and 1/4 more avocado (equating to 1/2 of an avocado).

Your body is an incredible thing that is constantly changing and deserving of nutrients. Treat yourself to a healthy meal and thank yourself for the lasting effects later!
