High Powered Blender: Add liquids/soft ingredients first, then ice, and blend.

Both: You will likely need to scrape the sides with a spatula a couple times.
BLENDER up everything but the pecans and coconut flakes. Fold in the pecans and coconut flakes in your bowl and enjoy the crunchy chewy goodness!

Notes

*STEVIA NOTES: 1 scoop = the scoop that comes in stevia bottle = 1/32 of tsp = 1 packet stevia. If you do not have any of this, a few light shakes. If you do not like stevia, use more erythritol-based sweetener to compensate. It’s not nearly as sweet so per scoop you may need to add 1-3 more tsp. to taste. Please see the “Sweeteners” tutorial under the Shopping Tutorials section.

Note: Video tutorials of these smoothies in the Dessert Smoothies Course on p3tolife.com!

**So I’ve discovered ice cube size can vary! These are made with ice-cube trays purchased online. If you make your smoothie and it seems too watery/liquidy and not thick like the photo or the video tutorials don’t worry, you aren’t crazy! Your ice-cubes are just smaller. Either add more icecubes or buy some trays online to use. The point is your smoothie should be kind of hard to blend- that’s how thick it should be.
