Switch up Your Smoothies
Smoothies are great vehicles for calories, but one problem with consuming a relatively uniform, predictably-textured dish is it can get boring fast. Shake things up with different smoothie recipes, and don’t forget to throw in a variety of flavors and textures.
Olive oil, yogurt, flax seed, protein powder, avocado and nut butters are your calorie-dense mainstays. Make sure every concoction has at least one or two of these, but switch up the fruit, veggies and juices that round out the smoothie.
It may be worth investing in a smoothie cookbook, or browsing around for inspired blogs that offer oodles of ideas.
