If you are interested in making this shake as a meal for yourself, here is an example you could follow.  If you would like a sweeter shake, you can always add more fruit OR use coconut water instead of coconut milk 🙂

• ½ cup ice
• 1 scoop of protein powder
• ½ cup frozen fruit
• ½ or whole banana
• ½ medium avocado or 1 small avocado
• 1 heaping cup of your choice of fresh greens or ½ cup of frozen greens
• 2 cups of unsweetened coconut milk, almond milk…any milk you would like
• Blend – if it’s too thick, add some water and blend again until you get the consistency you like
