I love a smoothie for breakfast. It is such an easy and delicious way to start the day with nutrient dense ingredients. In order for a smoothie to be filling enough for a meal, it must include fat and protein. Below is my go-to formula for a smoothie meal!

Serves 2:

2 cups of water

1-2 whole serving fruits (banana, apple, nectarine, peach…)

(optional, but recommended) 1-3 handfuls of leafy greens

a pinch of sea salt

juice of 1/2 a lemon or lime

1 1/2 cup of frozen fruit

4 scoops of collagen peptides

3-4 TB nuts or seeds (chia, flax, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds…) or 1 avocado
