To give this recipe flexibility, the staples we have used could stay the same & you could rotate your greens & fruits. The possibilities are truly endless. If you are using this as a meal replacement, like I did don't forget to add in a little protein. Just a touch will help satiate your hunger & hold you over until your next meal. I really like the freedom of reaching for a more tasty, healthier version than what I'm used to. Plus, it allows me to be free of calorie guilt & who doesn't like that?! In a sense you get to have your cake & eat it too, so do me a favor save this to your Pinterest board, print a copy & share it with a few of your friends!
