Chef Tips

Using heavy cream or coconut cream is a great way to get extra calories when you need them, but if you prefer a lower-fat option, leave out the cream and increase the almond milk to get your preferred smoothie consistency.

If your immune system is compromised and you buy pre-washed bagged spinach, always wash it again to be on the safe side. Use whichever protein powder suits your needs, whether whey, egg, soy – there are so many – but try to buy the best quality you can.
