2. Pour in almond milk.
3. Add protein, chia, coconut flakes, cinnamon, salt, and stevia (optional).

Options & Upgrades (Choose Your Weapon)

1) Creamier + More Filling

• Add 1–2 tbsp unsweetened coconut yogurt (if you have it).
• Or add 1 tbsp almond butter for a richer, nutty finish.

2) Extra Metabolic Support

• Add 1 tsp MCT oil (pairs perfectly with the coconut flavor).
• Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for a dessert-like taste.

3) Brighter Tropical Bite

• Add a squeeze of lime (makes the passion fruit pop).

4) Thicker “Smoothie Bowl” Style

• Use less almond milk (start with 2/3 cup) and more ice.
• Let it sit 2 minutes before serving to thicken further.

Why This Is Blood Sugar-Friendly

This smoothie is designed around a simple principle: fiber + fat + protein = stable energy. More recipes and strategies live in the Blood Sugar Reset Hub.

Ingredient Benefits (Quick, Useful, No Fluff)

• Passion fruit (pulp + seeds): fiber-forward and naturally tart, seeds add crunch and help slow digestion for a steadier glucose curve.
• Avocado: rich in monounsaturated fats and fiber, supports satiety and helps blunt the blood sugar response of everything else in the blender.
• Unsweetened almond milk: low sugar base that keeps total carbs down without wrecking taste.
• Plant protein: increases fullness and helps flatten post-meal glucose spikes by slowing absorption.
• Chia seeds: form a gel-like fiber matrix that slows digestion and supports smoother energy.
• Unsweetened coconut flakes: adds coconut flavor plus fat + fiber for a more stable, sustained fuel feel.
• Ceylon cinnamon: commonly used to support healthy glucose metabolism and adds natural sweetness without sugar.
• Sea salt (tiny pinch): enhances flavor and can help the smoothie taste “complete,” not flat.
• MCT oil (optional): fast-usable fat energy that can make the smoothie more satisfying with minimal glucose impact.
• Lime (optional): brightens flavor, helps you need less sweetener.
• Stevia (optional): adds sweetness without sugar, useful if your passion fruit is extra tart.
