Actual nutrition information will vary based on the products used.Ingredient amounts: Ingredient amounts are variable and should be adjusted to your taste and texture preferences.

(Note that adjusting the ingredient amounts will change the nutrition information.)Blending tips: In my experience, the order that you add the ingredients matters. In general, add in the following order:
Creamy or liquid items first (such as the yogurt, milk, peanut butter)
Leafy greens go next (the kale)
Frozen and hard to blend items on top (the frozen fruit and ice)
If the blender jams while running, use your blender's tamper (if it came with one) or pause blending and stir.
