📖 Instructions

1. Measure Ingredients: Accurately measure out all your ingredients before starting. This ensures a smooth process. For the liquid, start with less (e.g., 1/2 cup) and add more until you reach the consistency you like.
2. Combine Ingredients: Add the coconut flour, protein powder, your choice of liquid (water, almond milk, or coconut milk), chia seeds (if using), and any other desired ingredients (like spinach or frozen fruit) to your blender.
3. Blend on Low: Start blending on low speed to prevent the coconut flour from puffing up and creating a cloud. Nobody likes a powdery mess, believe me, I've been there.
4. Increase Speed Gradually: Slowly increase the blender speed to medium, then to high, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. Blend for about 30-60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to make sure everything gets incorporated.
5. Check Consistency: Pour the smoothie into your glass and check the consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more liquid (one tablespoon at a time) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a bit more coconut flour (1/2 teaspoon at a time) and blend.
6. Taste and Adjust: Give the smoothie a taste. Add any additional sweeteners (like honey or stevia) if needed, or adjust other ingredients to your liking. Remember, it's all about what tastes good to *you*.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass, garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a few fresh berries, if desired. Enjoy immediately! It's the perfect way to start your day or refuel after a workout.
