    I put my spinach, from a plastic box container, in the freezer - the whole box. Then, when I use it in a smoothie it blends completely because the frozen leaves break up quickly and smoothly :)

      I have done the meta boost plan 4 times now and have only lost 16 pounds in that entire time. You said you’ve moved on, but to what? I have no idea how to combine foods or what food types should be eaten together. For example, do I eat veggies with every meal, when do I eat fats with a meal, etc. I didn’t find that this plan taught me how to eat beyond the diet. Can you give me ideas of how you moved on past metaboost?

    • @seanstevenson8669
      @seanstevenson8669 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've done the metaboost and the belly buster and lost one pound. How did you lose that much? I'm trying to continue but now I slip because of a number of considerations: cost, time, practicality, lack of ingredients etc... It's hard to keep this diet going long term. I have to ask are you for real or another sales technique?

  • @eileenquittem-pb1ut

    Mere- I buy organic bananas. I leave the skin on and freeze them in chunks to use in my smoothies. Adds extra fiber and loads of antioxidants. I wouldn’t use non organic though as too many pesticides.

      Is there another alternate to kale as well? Thank you Mere! There is a 25mm kidney stone in the kidney of this body. I try not to claim it, lol! So, are there any other greens besides kale I could use that has even less oxalates? Is there a green veggie or ANY other veggie that has no oxalates? Thank you for taking the time to record and upload this recipe! Thank you in advance for a non oxalate ingredient you can suggest? 🙏🏻❤️

I drank the whole thing but it was pretty hard. Any thoughts? I used half of a banana and it was already a small banana. Could that be part of the problem? Also, do I need the 2 tsp of the cinnamon?

      Hi Kate! To achieve a butter-like consistency when blending almonds, you can add a small amount of water or almond milk, depending on your preference. This helps in the blending process and creates a smoother texture. Just be cautious about the proportions to maintain the desired consistency. Enjoy your delicious chocolate weight-loss smoothie! 😋🍫

      Hello Madziaza! 👋 I'm glad you're considering incorporating this smoothie into your routine! The recipe already includes a good source of protein from the spinach and almond butter. However, if you require additional protein, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or some Greek yogurt. ❤️ It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian to ensure the smoothie meets your specific dietary needs. Happy blending! 😊💪

      No worries at all! Experimenting is all part of the fun. Avocado can add creaminess and a unique taste, so your creation might turn out to be a delightful twist on the original. If the results aren't exactly as expected, it's all part of the learning process. Enjoy!

But if you prefer a pure almond flavor, you can simply blend almonds until they reach your desired consistency without any additional ingredients. 🥤❤️
