FBD Super Smoothie Ingredients

I don’t call them Super Smoothies for no reason! All of the nutrition delivered by each one of these Super Smoothie ingredients, combined with the potent nutrition from the meal plan make my 10-Day Flat Belly Detox a plan that super charges your body from the inside out. These smoothies are all packed with dense, potent, plant powered nutrition and essential nutrients. And as luck (and good planning) would have it, they still taste good! I’m quite pleased with the feedback (and reorders) I’ve been getting on these smoothie mixes since I launched the program last Fall.

If you’re wondering exactly what makes them so super, here is a detailed list with the what and why of all the Super Smoothie ingredients in each flavor. Each packet includes a perfectly portioned single smoothie. The flavor base is tasty enough, you can blend them with just water. But to boost the nutrition (and flavor), I do include suggest “fresh” mix-ins you can pop in the blender with your packet for an even more nutritious and delicious meal replacement.

It is lightly sweetened with stevia, monk fruit and a small amount of natural cane sugar,
