Notes:

Need more protein?

Use Greek Yogurt instead of coconut and/or add in 1 scoop of protein powder. If it is too thick, slowly add in liquid of your choice until desired thickness. You can also pair these smoothies with Overnight Oats, Eggs, etc.

Need more Fiber?

Add in Chia seeds, flax seeds, or half an avocado.

Remember, if you are adding in dry things (seeds) or thickeners (Greek yogurt or avocado) you may need to add some liquid. You shouldn't need to add very much, but you can use coconut water, filtered water, or milk of choice.
