– For an extra metabolism boost, keep most ingredients chilled or frozen—the chill factor slightly increases calorie burn during digestion while enhancing texture.

– Add some fiber: Toss in a handful of oats or tablespoon of chia to keep you full for longer and regulate blood sugar.

– Situational Consumption:

• Pre-workout: Opt for lower fat, more carb-heavy blends to give a quick energy spike.
• Post-workout: Choose smoothies with extra protein (Greek yogurt, protein powder, hemp, flaxseed).
• Meal replacement: Add healthy fats and fiber (avocado, seeds) to increase satiety.

– Substitutions for Dietary Needs:

• For dairy-free or vegan options: swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt alternative, and use agave instead of honey.
  See these high-protein vegetarian meals for more protein inspiration.
• For nut allergies: replace almond milk with oat milk or soy milk.
• If avoiding coconut: substitute with rice milk, regular water, or any preferred plant milk.
