Tips & Warnings
Some blenders aren't good with protein powder. If you see protein powder sticking to the sides just stop the blender and use a spoon to scrape into the center. This takes all of 2 seconds.
Protein is what makes this a metabolism boosting smoothie. Protein takes more energy to digest and digestion accounts for 60% of your metabolism. If you choose not to use protein powder then your smoothie will do the complete opposite, which is raise your blood sugar and put your body into fat storage mode.
