Basic Vanilla Nutrimeal Shake Recipe
Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth

• 3 Scoops of USANA Vanilla Nutrimeal
• ½ cup fresh or frozen fruit , frozen gives it more of a smoothie texture
• 5-6 ice cubes, if desired

Tips

On-the-Go Tip: Put 3 scoops of Nutrimeal in your USANA Blender Bottle, add 8-12 oz of cold water, shake like crazy and you’re ready to go!

Experiment with fruits and flavors, there are so many different variations. You can also add ground flax seeds, almonds, organic peanut butter, plain, organic, fat-free yogurt, 1 tsp of instant decaf coffee, a dash of cinnamon, or any other spice you’d like to your shakes.

For added sweetness: Add a couple of drops of Liquid Stevia. Carmen prefers the Liquid “SweetLeaf” brand that you can purchase at Whole Foods or online. It doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste and you can purchase different natural flavors – Plain, English Toffee, Vanilla Creme, Lemon Drop etc.

If you’d like to add more fiber, add a 1/2 scoop or of USANA’s Fibergy. The current recommendation for good health is to eat a minimum of 25-30 grams of fiber each day, and up to 50 if you are trying to lose weight.

Summer Shakes: For a smoothie/ice-creamy type feel – reduce water, add 2 cups of ice and mix on high in your blender.

Winter Shakes: Add hot water to your Vanilla Nutrimeal with cinnamon and/or organic, instant coffee.
