Notes

Tip: Calories always count, so remember to factor these smoothies into your plan’s total calories. If weight is an issue, split into two servings and enjoy as a snack . . . or, count one full serving as your breakfast — either way the math is a snap. If weight is not an issue, enjoy a daily serving whenever you wish.
