    Chia seeds is another good option if you like chia seeds.

    Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, maybe two.

    Whether it's right or wrong depends on your goal. If your goal is to obtain healthy protein/fat/carbs calories with phytonutrients, your shake is fine. If your goal is complete balanced nutrition, your shake is unproven and almost certainly falls far short.

    Water, organic half & half, banana, organic non-GMO peanut butter, L-glutamine, organic coconut oil, avocado, 20g total of collagen and whey protein powders. Can vary a bit, but this is the basic recipe.
