Everything we eat has calories. There’s no getting away from it. However, we can adjust a recipe to meet our needs on any given day.
Do I need more magnesium? Then I’ll use 2 bananas today.
Do I need a filling smoothie to get me through the day? Then I’ll use full fat yogurt.
Do I need extra Vitamin C? Then I’ll double up on berries.
You get the idea.
We have the same recipe four ways today so you can quickly see the difference the variations make. We also give you the calorie count based on 2 or 4 servings for each.
