  • 4 ice cubes

Notes

  • About Seed Cycling: This smoothie is great if you are seed cycling of you can swap out your seeds based on what you have. In the first half of my cycle I use 1 tablespoon each of flaxseed and pepitas. In the second half of my cycle I use 1 tablespoon each of plain, unroasted sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.
  • Protein Powder: If I am drinking this smoothie for breakfast I typically add a serving and a half of protein powder to reach 40 grams of protein. However, you can add a single serving if that is most appropriate for your needs.
