Notes
Tips + Substitutions
For an extra boost of nutrition, add a cup of fresh spinach or kale.
Try different combinations of berries or try it with mango or pineapple. The fruit should stay at a total of one cup.
Use any type of milk in this recipe you like. Just note that some milks higher in fat calories than others if your fitness goal includes weight management. Also avoid milks with added sugars whenever possible to avoid empty calories.
If you’ve never used MCT oil before, start with one teaspoon and work your way up to 1 tablespoon. Higher amounts can cause stomach upset in some at first with MCT oil that includes all the MCT fractions. But Flora MCT Oil is a next-level product and they have already removed the C6 MCTs that most commonly cause nausea.
If you only have fresh berries, add a handful of ice before blending.
