The combination of protein and fiber will keep you feeling full for longer and help maintain stable blood sugar levels. Make sure you include a healthy fat, lean protein, and carbohydrate (preferably higher in fiber) for a balanced delicious treat! Practice mindfulness by sipping your smoothie slowly and trying to taste all the flavors. Pacing yourself may help with digestion and increase feelings of fullness. NutritionNotes
