When I think of Spring and Summer, I think of smoothies – they are quick, easy, filled with fiber and protein and perfect for warmer weather! If you’re looking more low carb smoothies in your breakfast or lunch rotation, then definitely check out this Berry Blast Protein Smoothie!

This Berry Blast Protein Smoothie is a fairly simple smoothie recipe and it comes directly from my 3-Day Reset (Spring/Summer Edition) meal plan.

This is a Spring and Summer Cycle 1 meal plan that you can do on your own to get a jumpstart on the 17 Day Diet.

I try to keep my smoothies overall simple, as I personally don’t want a list of a dozen ingredients I have to fetch in order just to make a meal.

Yes, you can definitely have low carb smoothies while on the 17 Day Kickstart Diet. You can have this particular recipe starting on the 10-Day Stabilize Phase when certain dairy (yogurt) is allowed.
