❓ Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: Shake Separates

Fix: Blend longer (1-2 mins) → emulsifies fats

Problem: Too Watery

Fix: Add 1/4 avocado (adds creaminess + healthy fats)

Problem: Not Sweet Enough

Fix: Try 1/4 tsp monk fruit – 200x sweeter than sugar!

🧊 Make-Ahead Hack

Freeze individual portions in 8 oz mason jars! Thaw 15 mins before blending.

Personal Tip: I prep 5 jars every Sunday – breakfast handled!
