How to Customize for Your Plan

Skip the apple and use extra cucumber and lemon. Add a scoop of collagen for a protein boost.
For Slimming
Stick to Speed Foods (cucumber, spinach, lemon). Skip apple if you want to keep syns at zero.
For Weight Watchers
Use stevia for sweetness and track fruit portions if using apple.
For High-Protein
Blend with a scoop of whey protein or collagen powder for an energizing post-workout drink.
For Mediterranean
Use whole fruits, fresh herbs, and a splash of olive oil for extra antioxidants and healthy fats.
