HI, If you have a Costco membership you can find agave there. You can also purchase some almond milk and other ingredients for smoothies in bulk so you wont to go back & forth to the store & be tempted to purchase other (tempting) items.

Thanks

For protein, I use spirulina or chlorella, hemp seed protein, and maca powder. I order these from online stores that specialize in raw and organic foods (David Wolfe, Matt Monarch, Raw Power, etc)

I naturally sweeten my smoothies with Medjool dates. I usually will chop up 2-3 medium-large size dates. They always sweeten my smoothies. Sometimes I use figs or raisins, if I run out of dates.

I like to use either two handfuls of spinach, parsley, collards, or kale for the greens in my smoothies.

I also like to add organic coconut oil to my smoothie. (So many benefits from coconut oil.)

Oh, I love cold smoothies, so I always use 2 frozen bananas in my smoothies. The bananas make the smoothie taste like a milk shake. So, heavenly! Oh. avocadoes will do the same thing. Drink to your health!

We are doing a minimum of 2 smoothies per day, but other than that it depends on your personal eating and calorie goals. You may have 1 meal and 2 smoothies and snacks. You may have 2 meals and 2 smoothies. It depends on you how much you eat outside of the smoothies.
