Let’s think about this. Imagine you’re making yourself a smoothie with the following ingredients:
- 1 cup berries
- 1 banana
- 0.5 avocado
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
That makes 490 kcal (25 g fat, 50 g carbohydrates, 16 g protein). That’s what many would usually consume with a regular meal. And not just that; the recipe is high in fat also.
