Helpful hints

• Protein powder can be increased to 2 scoops for a higher protein smoothie.
• Omit protein powder for a low protein smoothie (3 grams per serving).
• Pasteurized egg whites are recommended to avoid the risk of salmonella. Look for refrigerated egg whites in a carton in the dairy section, or dried egg whites in the baking section at your local grocery store.
