Welcome!
Welcome to the AENpeeps!
My name is Autumn and I'm a
Certified Clinical Nutritionist
and creator of the Complete
Intermittent Fasting Bundle
Meal Plans. I use smoothies
with my Intermittent Fasting
routine as a fast and easy
option to pack in the protein,
fat and fiber needed to prevent
sugar cravings and reduce
hunger.
Smoothies can be a simple
meal for when you're on the go,
have a busy schedule or
when you're craving something
slightly sweet.
When done the right way,
smoothies can provide the
nutrients needed to allow the
body to more easily tap into fat
burning mechanisms by not
greatly spiking the storing
hormone insulin.
With this free smoothie
challenge, we're focusing on
making one small (but
significant!) adjustment to your
break-fast or lunch routine.
The goal is to introduce you to
smoothies done the right way
so that you can always have a
convenient and tasty meal that
also helps you with your weight
loss or wellness goals ready to
go.
You may be amazed by what
changing just one meal can do
to your energy levels, satiety
and overall satisfaction. Let's
do this!

Autumn
Smoothie Challenge
Guidelines
Choose 1 smoothie everyday
for 5 days
We're all starting on Monday! Make sure to
grab your ingredients and get organized
with the tips on the next page.

Drink your smoothie as either

your break-fast or lunch.
These smoothies are designed to act as a
meal. Each one is packed with the protein,
fat and fiber to help keep you satisfied. If
you find that you're still hungry, try adding
an extra 1-2 Tbsp. of fat (ex: nut butter,
chia seeds, etc.) to your smoothie.

Mix and match your

smoothies to your liking.
You can pick one smoothie to have for all
5 days or test out a different smoothie
everyday. The choice is yours!
Smoothie Challenge
tips + tricks
Grab your ingredients.
Some of these ingredients might be new to
you, so you'll want to make sure you have
them on hand before the Challenge starts.
Thankfully, when you buy items such as
coconut butter or chia seeds, one bag or
carton can last for multiple weeks, if not
months! Check out my favorite brands for
each ingredient with THIS blog post.

Short on time? Prep your

smoothie!
Many AENpeeps will prep their smoothies in
mason jars for the week and stash them in
their fridge. This makes whipping up your
smoothie a matter of pouring the ingredients
into the blender and turning it on!

Not a fan of an ingredient?

When you see an ingredient you don't like in
a recipe, you can feel free to swap it out with
an equivalent ingredient. Check out the
Super Easy Ingredient Swaps page for more
details.
Autumn's Protein
I created a zero sugar, pasture raised
protein powder for the community
that's recipe tested to taste
AMAZING in all of your smoothies!
Each bag of my brand new protein
powder even comes with 10
delicious free recipes that you can
use along your wellness journey. You
can read all about the science-
backed perks of the ingredients in
my new protein powder by checking

SUPER EASY INGREDIENT

Below are common ingredients within the smoothies, as well as the swaps you can use.

rice
1/2 cup other frozen berries
1/2 avocado
1/4-1/2 cup frozen coconut
1/2 cup ice

3 Tbsp. hemp seeds

Coconut Milk
unsweetened almond milk

milk
unsweetened cashew milk
water

 Vanilla Coconut
Latte Smoothie
If you're a coffee fan, you'll love breaking your fast with this latte
inspired smoothie! If you're on the more carbohydrate sensitive side,
you can swap the banana for 1/4-1/2 cup frozen coconut.

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS
5 oz. brewed coffee, cooled
5 oz. unsweetened coconut or nut milk
(not oat milk)
1 serving Autumn's Vanilla Protein
Powder
2 Tbsp. coconut butter
1 Tbsp. chia seeds
1/2 frozen banana

01 Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Optional to top with 1-2 Tbsp. cacao
nibs or 2-3 Tbsp. toasted coconut
flakes (unsweetened).

Nerdy note: oat milk tends to be much higher in starches than nut milks, Just 10oz. of
oat milk has about 20 grams of starch, making it not a great option if you're more
carbohydrate sensitive.
 Strawberry
Mojito Smoothie
If you like the added flavor of vanilla protein powder, but you prefer
using greek yogurt as your protein, you can do half and half! Just add
1/2 serving vanilla protein and 1/2 cup unsweetened greek yogurt for
the protein ingredient.

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS
10 oz. unsweetened coconut milk or nut
milk
1 cup unsweetened, full-fat greek
yogurt OR 1 serving Autumn's Vanilla
Protein Powder
1/4 cup fresh mint
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
1 Tbsp. coconut butter

01 Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Optional to top with 1-2 Tbsp. cacao
nibs or 2-3 Tbsp. toasted coconut
flakes (unsweetened.)

Nerdy note: chia seeds provide significant sources of both fat and fiber. Just 2 Tbsp.
contains around 7 grams of fiber to help keep you satisfied!
Turmeric Pineapple
Smoothie
This smoothie is featured from the Complete Intermittent Fasting
Bundle! The addition of ginger and turmeric help to add some anti-
inflammatory action to this tropical-esque smoothie.

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS
10 oz. unsweetened coconut milk or nut
milk
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
1 serving Autumn's Vanilla Protein
Powder OR 1 cup unsweetened, full-fat
greek yogurt
1 Tbsp. coconut butter
1 Tbsp. flax or chia seeds
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground turmeric
pinch of black pepper

01 Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Optional to top with 1-2 Tbsp. cacao
nibs or 2-3 Tbsp. toasted coconut
flakes (unsweetened).

Nerdy note: the pinch of black pepper helps to boost absorption of the active
anti-inflammatory compound in turmeric (called curcumin) by as much as 2000%.(1)
Chocolate Collagen
PB Smoothie
This smoothie might not have that deep, dark chocolate look, but it's
PACKED with chocolate-y peanut butter-y goodness. Allergic to
peanut butter? You can swap this out for almond or coconut butter!

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS
10 oz. unsweetened coconut milk or nut milk
1 serving Autumn's Chocolate Protein Powder
OR 1 cup unsweetened full-fat greek yogurt
1 serving unflavored or chocolate collagen
powder
1/2 frozen banana OR 1/4-1/2 cup frozen
coconut (if carb sensitive)
2 Tbsp. peanut butter
1 Tbsp. flax seeds
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

01 Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Optional to top with 1-2 Tbsp. cacao nibs
or 2-3 Tbsp. toasted coconut flakes
(unsweetened).

Nerdy note: Adding collagen alongside your usual protein can help to boost satiety
(and therefore help to prevent snacking) even further. (2)
 Blueberry
Hemp Smoothie

fan fave for over 3 years!

INGREDIENTS
10 oz. unsweetened coconut milk or nut milk

"My goal was 40 lbs by July 25, 2020 and
a total of 70 lbs by the end of 2020. On
July 17, 2020 I was down 71 lbs...I’m
getting some of my old swagger back"

Jennifer
"My gratitude for Autumn and her program is
unending. I can't thank her enough for creating a
program that breaks down the process of
intermittent fasting in a way that was easy to
understand and follow. I wouldn't have been able to
meet my fitness goals without her."
