Fab Four Super Smoothie

FAB FOUR SMOOTHIE #fab4smoothie

The Fab Four Smoothie is a formula to help you develop a blood sugar balancing meal replacement shake in any flavor with enough protein, fat and fiber to keep you full.

Many juice shops, grocery smoothie bars and smoothie recipes are loaded with sugar, specifically fructose sugar from excess fruit.

Fructose sugar stores as fat 20-30% faster than glucose. The Fab Four protein smoothie limits fructose to 1/4 cup!

The formula comes from the book “Body Love”. I love the concept, “making body-loving choices that empower people to be at their best.” One of body-loving choices is a nutrient-rich smoothie, which can leave you satisfied for hours and provide a more energizing start to the day, and @ ModernHealth-Wellness we have always incorporated this!

So if you’re following the Fab Four program here are the products YOU should incorporate too: Arbonne Vanilla or Chocolate Vegan Protein Powder 🌱 Arbonne Fiber Boost Arbonne Greens Balance, and/or handful of spinach Healthy fats like avocado 🥑, coconut oil, or almond butter

Fruits, like berries

Mix all of your beneficial supplements together, then add your fruit, healthy fat, and superfoods, to make the healthiest and most satisfying smoothie! Check out some amazing smoothie recipes below.

Here's the recipe:

Protein (20g min) + Fiber (10g min) + 1 Tbsp. Fat + Handful Greens + 1/4 Cup Fruit + Superfoods + Liquid

Do the daily shake with delicious, nutritious perfectly balanced chocolate or vanilla shake mix. Provides 20 grams of vegan protein from pea, rice and cranberry that is easily digestible and provides essential amino acids plus more than 20 essential vitamins and minerals per serving. Clinically tested and certified to have a low glycemic index, which has little effect on blood sugar levels and does not cause a spike in blood sugar.

Get your fiber fix with 12 grams of fiber, nearly half the daily requirement, derived from grains, fruit and vegetables. This flavorless, soluble fiber can be added to all foods and beverages, including Chocolate or Vanilla Protein Shakes.

Arbonne Essentials makes this easy, featuring a Greens Balance with its spectrum of proprietary color blends of whole fruit and vegetable powders — delivering antioxidants, phytonutrients and fiber you need to have a more balanced, healthier diet every day.

Blueberries, an Antioxidant Superfood. Packed with antioxidants and phytoflavinoids, these berries are also high in potassium and vitamin C, making them the top choice of doctors and nutritionists. Not only can they lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, they are also anti-inflammatory.
