💡 Tips for Keeping it Low-Point
-
Use frozen fruit to naturally thicken the smoothie without extra calories.
-
Skip the banana if you want to reduce points; you can replace it with more strawberries or a few ice cubes for volume.
-
Choose low-point protein powders (many whey or plant-based options are 0–2 points per scoop).
-
Add greens like spinach for extra nutrients — it won’t affect points or taste much.
