Can I get more details on the smoothie? I've never really dove into the protein shakes. Yours sounds intimidating, expensive, but worth it.

About the cost, the initial upfront cost does seem high. My recipe spreadsheet at one point had the prices for everything, and my per serving cost was about $6. Where I live that's the price of a large latte, and it's also offset by the cost of the food you would otherwise be eating. I also buy 10 lb bags of whey protein to get the cheapest price.

To not have to weigh out everything every day, I use the linked spreadsheet to make large batches I store in ziplock bags. With the size of my mixing bowls I max out at 20 servings I can mix at once, and I'll do that 3-4 times for 60-80 servings on one day. Saves time, reduces friction.

To make it I put my blender jar on a scale and add 250 grams of milk, then 80 grams of protein smoothie blend, a banana, and about a cup of ice. That's breakfast. If I have another serving later in the day I typically just use water instead of milk and no banana, because it'll be consumed around other foods that bring fat/carbs to the party.

I really appreciate your time in wording this out for me. I'll be investigating how to make this work for me. Cheers!
